Prosecutors investigating the allegation of the development of Daejang-dong revealed that the profits of the Daejang-dong gang amounted to 788.6 billion won.

It was also explained that Democratic Party representative Lee Jae-myeong promised to "listen to the demands of private businesses" when he was mayor of Seongnam, but analysis is also coming out that this is a pre-work for additional investigation by Lee.

Prosecutors applied the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act to additional trials for those related to the Daejang-dong project, including Yoo Dong-gyu, former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, and Kim Man-bae.



This is a provision that punishes public officials when they take advantage of themselves or allow a third party to take advantage by using secrets learned in the course of their duties.



Prosecutors believe that between 2014 and 2015, former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu and others informed private businesses in Daejang-dong of the contents of the public offering guidelines in advance to make a profit.



Through this, the prosecution said that Daejang-dong operators earned a total of 788.6 billion won.



Prosecutors explain that if a violation of the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act is recognized by the court, it is easier to recover the proceeds of crime.



At the same time, the prosecution said that their collusion began after Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung became Seongnam Mayor in 2010, and in 2013, Lee Jae-myeong, then mayor, promised to listen to the demands of private businessmen if he financed the project for the park development of Industrial Complex 1. It was also disclosed.



Accordingly, there is a possibility that the prosecution will investigate Lee not only for breach of trust but also for violating the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act.



An official from the prosecution said, "After the investigation team was reorganized in July of last year, we conducted a considerable part of the investigation and secured sufficient evidence."



Inside the prosecution, it is known that after the Lunar New Year holidays, after investigating Lee on charges related to the Daejang-dong business, a plan to request an arrest warrant in connection with charges related to Seongnam FC, which was investigated on the 10th, is being considered.
