[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The prosecution investigating the 'Daejang-dong scandal' recently requested the police to share the digital forensic data of the mobile phone of Yoo Dong-gyu, former Planning Director of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation. The police responded that they would review the request after completing their analysis.

A senior official from the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency told reporters on the 15th, "The forensic analysis is still ongoing," adding, "We will actively review the matter to ensure that the overall cooperative relationship is not damaged, but it will only be possible after the forensic analysis is completed."

The dedicated investigation team at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (led by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim Tae-hoon) reportedly requested the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency on the 9th to share investigation materials, including the forensic contents of Yoo's mobile phone.

The mobile phone secured and currently being analyzed by the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency is the latest model of the iPhone, which Yoo reportedly threw out the window just before the prosecution's search and seizure at the end of September. The official explained, "Considering evidentiary validity and other factors comprehensively, it was reviewed that sharing would only be possible after the forensic analysis is completed."
