[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Lawyer Kang Shin-up, who filed a false accusation charge against former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok, has additionally filed a civil lawsuit requesting a prohibition on denial of facts.

On the morning of the 18th, Lawyer Kang stated this to reporters in front of Seoul Detention Center ahead of the police's sixth witness investigation of Kim Sung-jin, CEO of iKist.

On that day, Lawyer Kang said, "Former leader Lee denies the fact despite receiving sexual entertainment," and added, "The lawsuit was filed with the intention of prohibiting any further denial."

Lawyer Kang explained the reason for the lawsuit, saying, "Through this lawsuit, we will summon former leader Lee as a witness to confirm whether the entertainment took place," and "We will observe whether he can say that even in a situation where he could be held liable for perjury."

Previously, Lawyer Kang had accused former leader Lee of false accusation by reporting him to Gangnam Police Station, stating, "Lee Jun-seok's filing of defamation charges against former reporter Kim Se-ui and lawyer Kang Yong-seok is a false accusation."

The Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is conducting a witness investigation of CEO Kim, who is detained at Seoul Detention Center, from morning to afternoon on the same day. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency is examining the establishment of false accusation charges transferred along with allegations of sexual bribery (solicitation offense) and evidence destruction instruction against former leader Lee.

Former leader Lee is suspected of receiving sexual entertainment from CEO Kim at a hotel in Daejeon while serving as an emergency committee member of the Grand National Party (the predecessor of the People Power Party) in July-August 2013, and of receiving Chuseok gifts in 2015. Separately from this case, CEO Kim is currently detained at Seoul Detention Center after the Supreme Court confirmed a nine-year prison sentence for defrauding investors of hundreds of billions of won by inflating company sales in 2018.
