Seongnam Urban Development Corporation to File Lawsuit Within the Year for 'Unjust Gains Return from Daejang-dong Development'
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, which became the basis of the Daejang-dong development preferential treatment and lobbying allegations, plans to file a lawsuit within this year to recover the unfair profits of the private developers involved in the Daejang-dong development project.
The corporation announced on the 12th, "Given the seriousness and urgency of the matter, we plan to file a lawsuit demanding the return of unfair profits or a claim for damages by the end of next month in consultation with Seongnam City."
To this end, the corporation applied for a copy of the indictment of former Seongnam Urban Development Corporation Planning Director Yoo Dong-gyu at the Seoul Central District Court the day before. The copied indictment is expected to be received in about a week. Former Director Yoo was arrested and indicted on charges including breach of trust under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes and bribery after fraudulent acts.
In particular, he was investigated for directing approximately 65.1 billion KRW in land development dividend profits and significant implementation profits to private developers, causing losses to the corporation, leading prosecutors to apply breach of trust charges.
After obtaining the indictment, the corporation plans to discuss specific litigation plans with Seongnam City by synthesizing the legal advisory opinion from the law firm Sangnok, commissioned by former President Yoon Jeong-su, and additional reviews from external legal advisory groups.
