Lee Jae-myung: "Excluding what's unfavorable to Yoon? Ultimately, it's saying no to a special prosecutor"

Daejang-dong Special Prosecutor: "Excluding Parts Related to Candidate Yoon Is Unreasonable"
Ruling and Opposition Should Quickly Agree on Special Prosecutor for Unbiased Investigation

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon, Chilgok=Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, criticized the introduction of a special prosecutor related to the Daejang-dong scandal on the 11th, saying, "Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party candidate, wants to exclude what is unfavorable to him, which ultimately means not doing it at all."

On the morning of the same day, after visiting the Dabudong War Memorial in Chilgok, Gyeongbuk, Lee told reporters, "A special prosecutor who investigates without sanctuary is absolutely necessary."

Lee emphasized, "The Hwacheon Daeyu Daejang-dong scandal must be investigated thoroughly from beginning to end, including the initial procurement and the loan corruption at Busan Savings Bank." He added, "If they had punished and recovered the funds back then, this would not have happened," criticizing, "The progress of the special prosecutor investigation is stalled due to Yoon's baseless claims."

Lee said, "We must investigate why Yoon happened to sell (his father's house) to someone related to the Daejang-dong scandal," and added, "A special prosecutor should be appointed promptly through bipartisan agreement."

Lee also mentioned the death of Yuhan-gi, former head of the Development Business Division at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation.

He said, "The prosecution is conducting an investigation focusing on peripheral matters, and it is said that someone, resenting the coercive investigation, made an extreme choice," emphasizing, "The core and essence must be thoroughly investigated."
