Prosecutors Investigate Hana Bank Staff Who Formed Consortium with Hwacheon Daeyu

[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] The prosecution investigating the 'Daejang-dong development scandal' is summoning a Hana Bank official who participated in the development project alongside Hwacheon Daeyu for questioning.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office special investigation team (led by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim Tae-hoon) is questioning Hana Bank Deputy Manager Lee on the afternoon of the 7th as a witness. In 2015, when Seongnam Urban Development Corporation invited private developers for the Daejang-dong development project, Hana Bank formed a consortium with Hwacheon Daeyu to participate. Lee was responsible for the practical work at the time and later served as an outside director representing Hana Bank at the project company 'Seongnam E Tteul.' There are also allegations that Hana Bank received an additional 10 billion KRW beyond the agreed fees from Seongnam E Tteul.

The prosecution is investigating Deputy Manager Lee regarding the formation of the consortium with Hwacheon Daeyu and the process of selecting the developer, while also probing the additional fee allegations. The prosecution is also continuing to summon and question Kim Moon-gi, Head of Development Division 1 at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, who was in charge of the Daejang-dong development project, following his questioning the previous day.
