[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Kim Yong-min, Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 10th that "it seems possible to establish the charge of fraud" regarding the accusation of forgery of bank balance certificates related to Choi, the mother-in-law of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, and added, "the indictment should be amended in the appellate trial."

At the plenary meeting of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee held at the National Assembly that afternoon, Supreme Council Member Kim questioned Deputy Minister of Justice Kang Seong-guk, asking, "Do you have any intention to direct the investigation by amending the indictment (regarding the forgery suspicion of Yoon candidate's mother-in-law's bank balance)?" and made the statement.

Supreme Council Member Kim emphasized the recent 'forgery of balance certificates' that caused the Ostem Implant embezzlement case, saying, "Yoon candidate's mother-in-law was also sentenced to one year in prison for forging a balance certificate worth about 34 billion won." He added, "It was forged to be used somewhere, and through this, a loan was obtained," and said, "If there had been no balance certificate, the loan would not have been granted, so this is a very important factor."

Supreme Council Member Kim said, "It seems that the charge of fraud can be established," and asked Deputy Minister Kang, "I think the indictment should be amended in the appellate trial later. Do you have any intention to direct the investigation to amend the indictment?"

In response, Deputy Minister Kang said, "I will carefully consider and review it once."
