Cheong "No Financial Supervisory Service directive given to the administrative officer mentioned in the article regarding Lime"

Cheongwadae clarifies controversy over former aide's alleged Lime involvement... "Currently with FSC, article file content is groundless"

[Asia Economy reporters Ryu Jeong-min and Son Seon-hee] A key Blue House official denied allegations on the 10th that a former administrative officer was involved in the so-called Lime scandal during a meeting with reporters.

The key Blue House official stated, "The administrative officer mentioned in the article is currently affiliated with the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS). We confirmed this with the individual," adding, "He said there was no directive given to the FSS regarding Lime."

Victims of Lime Asset Management funds held a press conference on the 21st in front of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, urging "prompt investigation by the prosecution." The victims filed a complaint with the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office against the head of Daishin Securities Banpo WM Center on charges including fraud under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes and fraudulent trading under the Capital Markets Act.

The key Blue House official added, "The content of the recorded audio in the article is groundless. The former administrative officer, now with the FSS, reportedly does not even know the securities company employee well. He is willing to undergo investigation anytime to clarify the truth."

Earlier, SBS reported, "We have obtained a recorded audio containing the voice of a key figure related to the so-called Lime scandal, which involved the suspension of redemption for funds worth 1.6 trillion won," and added, "The recording includes content that a then Blue House official, formerly with the FSS, blocked issues related to Lime."
