Mr. A served as the three-term chairman of the National Taxi Labor Union Federation (Jeontak Noryeon) and was the Senior Vice Chairman of FKTU from 2020 until the 28th of last month.



He is suspected of receiving several hundred million won from a construction union member who was expelled from FKTU last year due to a corruption case involving approximately 1 billion won, along with a request to return to the organization.
