Prosecutors Request Passport Cancellation for Lawyer Nam Wook, Key Figure in Daejang-dong Scandal
[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The prosecution has requested the invalidation of the passport of Nam Wook, a key figure in the Daejang-dong development preferential treatment suspicion, who is currently staying overseas.
According to the legal community on the 8th, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's dedicated investigation team recently requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to cancel Nam's passport while he is staying in the United States.
Nam has been a leading figure in the Daejang-dong development project since 2009. After Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) gave up public development, he purchased surrounding land for private development and directly persuaded landowners.
In 2014, when then-Seongnam Mayor Lee Jae-myung changed the Daejang-dong development method to a public-private partnership, Nam participated in the development project alongside Kim Man-bae, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu. He is also the actual owner of Cheonhwa Dongin No. 4, a subsidiary of Hwacheon Daeyu.
