View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] The police have referred lawyer Jang Youngha, who raised allegations of gang involvement against Lee Jae-myung, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, to the prosecution.
The Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 23rd that last week they sent lawyer Jang, who is suspected of violating the Public Official Election Act (spreading false information), to the prosecution without detention. It is also known that Park Cheolmin, a member of a violent organization active in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, who is suspected of the same charge, was sent together.
After meeting Park Cheolmin, who was detained in October last year, lawyer Jang claimed, "I have secured a photo of a stack of money that was delivered to Lee Jae-myung, then mayor of Seongnam, in 2015." However, it was revealed that the photo was of a stack of money Park boasted about to those around him, saying he earned it while running a rental car business in 2018. The Democratic Party of Korea filed a complaint with the prosecution against Park and lawyer Jang for violating the Public Official Election Act and other charges.

After receiving the case from the prosecution, the police began a search and seizure at Suwon Detention Center, where Park is imprisoned, in March, and last month conducted a search and seizure at lawyer Jang's office. On the 8th, the police arrested lawyer Jang and applied for an arrest warrant, but the prosecution did not request it, stating that supplementary investigation was necessary.
