[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 10th, the election campaign headquarters of Kim Jae-yeon, the Progressive Party's presidential candidate, stated regarding the death of Yuhan-gi, former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, "Now, only a special prosecutor can provide the answer."


On this day, the Progressive Party campaign headquarters issued a statement saying, "Former head Yuhan-gi, who had denied the allegations, made a tragic choice ahead of the court's warrant substantive examination, making it inevitable that the investigation into the substantial truth will face setbacks."


The Progressive Party campaign headquarters said, "Former head Yuhan-gi has been accused of receiving 200 million won in slush money as a bribe from Kim Man-bae, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu, and others under the pretext of lobbying the Hangang River Basin Environmental Office," adding, "With the death of former head Yuhan-gi, investigations related to various suspicions are bound to face setbacks or be suspended. Since it has become clear that further prosecution investigations are difficult, a special prosecutor must be promptly introduced to uncover the substantial truth."



They continued, "Until now, the entrenched conservative two parties have only talked about a special prosecutor without any will to implement it," criticizing. They urged, "No more delays are allowed," and emphasized, "The truth must be revealed before the presidential candidate registration application on February 13 next year. Introduce the special prosecutor immediately."
