[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] On the 9th, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party, warned that the prosecution's search and seizure of the Democratic Party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, and the Democratic Party leader's secretariat within the National Assembly was a "fabricated investigation," stating, "In the end, the truth will be revealed."

On the 10th, immediately after the plenary session of the National Assembly, Lee met with reporters and said, "It seems the prosecution's level of fabrication is very low." Lee had remained silent except for official meeting remarks recently but expressed his stance on the prosecution's investigation during this meeting with reporters.

He said, "It won't be easy for the prosecution to become excellent novelists," adding, "I think this absurd fabricated investigation is the reason they are refusing the Daejang-dong special prosecutor investigation."

He then addressed the prosecution, saying, "I hope you do not forget that deceiving the people and distorting history is only temporary."

The day before, the prosecution sent prosecutors and investigators to the Democratic Party headquarters and the main building of the National Assembly to attempt a search and seizure in order to investigate bribery allegations against Jeong Jin-sang, chief of political coordination in the Democratic Party leader's office and a close aide to Lee.

Jeong is accused of receiving nearly 100 million won in bribes (bribery under the Special Criminal Act, violation of the Anti-Corruption Act) from the so-called "Daejang-dong group," including Yoo Dong-gyu, former head of planning at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation.
