[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party has raised its voice, saying that "an investigation without sanctuary must be conducted" regarding the Lime and Optimus fund scandals.

Yoon Hee-seok, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 12th, "As testimonies and evidence related to the Lime and Optimus fund scandals are gradually emerging, the truth is being revealed."

He said, "The main culprit of the Lime scandal testified that he delivered 50 million won to the then Blue House Senior Secretary for Political Affairs," adding, "Documents reportedly written by the Optimus fund representative contain content that politicians and officials from the Democratic Party and others participated as beneficiaries and were involved in the fund's establishment and operation."

Yoon also criticized, "However, the prosecution's investigation is so poor and sluggish that it is hard to believe," and said, "This is the result of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae isolating the Prosecutor General through successive political appointments and dismantling the Joint Securities Crime Investigation Unit."

He emphasized, "President Moon Jae-in must step in directly," adding, "The President should order the prosecution to clearly uncover the truth of this incident. If necessary, there is no reason to hesitate to introduce a special prosecutor."
