Lee Jae-myung: "Yoon Seok-yeol Knew About Daejang-dong Loan Corruption but Did Not Investigate"
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, directly accused Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party candidate, of being the person who should be arrested in relation to the Seongnam Daejang-dong development project on the 21st.
On the same day, Lee posted on Facebook, "Candidate Yoon was the lead prosecutor in the investigation of the Busan Savings Bank loan corruption case, and although the Daejang-dong loan corruption was revealed through face-to-face investigation during the loan corruption investigation process, it was excluded from the investigation," he claimed.
He added, "In my view, this is a clear dereliction of duty," and "His crime is worse than that of the loan corruption offenders."
He further stated, "This is obviously a matter that should result in arrest and a long prison sentence," and criticized, "The person who should be arrested for Daejang-dong is not Lee Jae-myung, who resisted pressure for private development and carried out at least half of the project as public development, but candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who protected the Daejang-dong loan corruption offenders."
On the same day, Lee posted an article from Kyunghyang Shinmun titled 'The Increasingly Deepening Inadequate Investigation of Daejang-dong by the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office' on Facebook.

Kyunghyang Shinmun reported in the article that there is growing evidence that the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office did not properly investigate the 110 billion won Daejang-dong project financing (PF) loan case of Busan Savings Bank in 2011. Although it was confirmed that Mr. A, who arranged the loan, received 1.03 billion won as a bribe, no follow-up action was taken. At that time, candidate Yoon Seok-yeol was the head prosecutor of the Daejang-dong case as the Section Chief of the Central Investigation Department 2 at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
