[2020 National Audit] Kwon Eun-hee "Suspicion of Financial Supervisory Service Staff Entertained at Nightlife Establishments"... Yoon Seok-heon "Only Provided Data"

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] There are allegations that a Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) employee who leaked Lime-related documents to former team leader Kim, who was dispatched as an Blue House administrative officer, was entertained together at a nightlife establishment.

On the 23rd, during the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee comprehensive audit, Assemblywoman Kwon Eun-hee stated, "I received a tip that the FSS employee who leaked Lime-related documents to former Blue House administrative officer Kim accepted entertainment," and "I understand that the FSS has launched an audit regarding these allegations," requesting the submission of related materials. She also asserted, "The FSS should bear criminal responsibility, not just discuss institutional improvements."

Former team leader Kim, who was dispatched to the Blue House, is currently under indictment and in custody on charges of receiving bribes in exchange for passing inspection-related information from the Lime-related department to Kim Bong-hyun, chairman of Star Mobility, who is from the same region. The FSS employee has explained that submitting the documents to former administrative officer Kim was at the level of work cooperation.

Director Yoon responded to Assemblywoman Kwon's claims by saying, "An internal investigation was conducted, and senior employee Jo was disciplined with a pay cut for violating internal regulations," and drew a line by stating, "Only Lime documents were handed over to former administrative officer Kim, and there was no entertainment involved at that time."
