People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy Urges "Optimus and Lime Fund Cases Must Be Investigated Without Sanctuary"

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD) has urged a thorough investigation into the Optimus and Lime fund cases, which have raised suspicions of lobbying involving political and government circles.

On the 14th, PSPD issued a statement asserting, "Since there are allegations that lobbying or bribery was conducted against the ruling party, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the prosecution to cover up the fund fraud investigation, an unreserved investigation must be carried out regarding the authenticity and execution of internal documents as well as the lobbying suspicions involving political and government circles."

They also stated that "additional investigations are inevitable" concerning suspicions related to Attorney Lee, the spouse of the detained Optimus director who worked as a Blue House administrative officer until June this year, as well as allegations that Optimus covered the rental costs of a multifunction printer for the election office of Lee Nak-yeon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea.

PSPD emphasized that the suspicion that former Blue House Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Kang Ki-jung received 50 million won from Kim Bong-hyun, CEO of Lime Asset Management, must also be investigated promptly.

They added, "Those involved in the lobbying allegations must also actively cooperate with the investigation to uncover the truth and sincerely provide explanations."
