[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The prosecution investigating allegations of corruption in the development of Wirye New Town and Daejang-dong revealed that it will soon decide whether to request an arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea.

A representative of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office investigation team stated on the 14th, "Considering Lee's attitude during testimony and the progress of the investigation, we judge that the necessity for additional appearance and questioning is not significant," adding, "We will comprehensively review the investigation conducted so far and the results of Lee's questioning to promptly decide on whether to request an arrest warrant and other further investigative measures."

He continued, "During the two appearances for questioning, Lee presented numerous related documents and physical evidence that he personally received and approved, but it is regrettable that he did not provide specific responses to our inquiries."
