[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Kim Tae-nyeon, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 15th regarding the Lime and Optimus incidents, "Those who committed crimes must be punished regardless of their rank or position."

At the National Assembly's audit countermeasure meeting held that day, Floor Leader Kim said, "The Democratic Party's stance is firm. The prosecution must actively investigate without any suspicion or sanctuary and reveal the full details of the case."

He continued, "It is regrettable that some media outlets and the People Power Party are labeling the financial fraud cases as power-related gates without clear evidence and using them as tools for political conflict."

He explained, "A power-related gate refers to a situation where a person in power exercises authority to gain unfair benefits or to assist illegal activities. The Lime and Optimus cases are financial fraud cases committed by criminals."

He added, "It is inappropriate to arbitrarily label anything as a power-related gate to attack the government and ruling party and use it as a basis for attacks. Isn't the prosecution currently reinforcing its specialized investigative personnel and conducting very active investigations?"

He further stated, "What the National Assembly should do is to thoroughly examine whether there were any loopholes to prevent such financial fraud and focus on policy activities to establish security measures."
