Kyungsillyeon "Prosecutors Must Thoroughly Investigate Lime and Optimus Scandals"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice (CCEJ) issued a statement on the 13th, urging the prosecution to conduct an unreserved investigation into the 'Lime Scandal' and the 'Optimus Fund Fraud Case.'

CCEJ stated, "The scale of damage caused by the Lime Fund is 1.6 trillion won, and the Optimus Fund about 500 billion won, resulting in enormous harm to financial consumers. Although the prosecution has been investigating for several months, it has been passive not only in uncovering the truth but also in punishing those responsible."

CCEJ added, "There are suspicions that the reason for the prosecution's insufficient investigation is related to the ruling party and political figures mentioned in recent lobbying allegations, as well as issues related to prosecution reform."

They continued, "To resolve these suspicions, the prosecution must thoroughly investigate the lobbying allegations involving political figures, as well as the overall mismanagement and supervisory issues, to identify and punish those responsible. If government and ruling party officials do not sincerely cooperate with the investigation, there will be no choice but to clarify responsibility through a special prosecutor or a parliamentary audit," they emphasized.
