[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The National Council of Demolition Residents (Jeoncheolhyeop), which filed a complaint against Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung regarding the preferential treatment allegations in the Daejang-dong development, appeared at the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Division (Gongsoocheo) on the 5th for a complainant investigation.


Lee Ho-seung, the standing representative of Jeoncheolhyeop, appeared at Gongsoocheo in Gwacheon that morning and told reporters, "Gongsoocheo must promptly investigate Governor Lee."


He added, "There is no way Governor Lee is unaware of the Daejang-dong gate, and I believe it was his operation," and said, "I have a strong conviction that Yoo Dong-gyu, the former Planning Director of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation who has already been detained, only carried out Governor Lee's intentions, and Gongsoocheo must investigate this part."



Earlier, on the 24th of last month, Jeoncheolhyeop filed a complaint with Gongsoocheo accusing Governor Lee, who was serving as the mayor of Seongnam at the time of the Daejang-dong allegations, of significant responsibility for diverting public development profits that should have gone to Seongnam City to specific individuals, charging him with breach of trust under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.
