Lee Cheol-gyu, a member of the People Power Party who claims that a prominent Democratic Party politician is behind the so-called 'Construction King' responsible for the Jeonse fraud in Michuhol-gu, emphasized the credibility of his claim, saying, "There have been many reports. Stakeholders in the region have provided these reports."


On the 19th, Lee said on KBS's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strong Current Affairs,' "These reports are not rumors like the past 'Cheongdam-dong drinking party rumors,' but rather, substantial circumstances corresponding to such reports are being discovered."

He explained, "'The Construction King' did not only commit villa fraud but also secured development profits in areas other than Incheon, and behind that is (a politician)." He added, "It is not a local government head, but a (politician) who exerted influence to have the villa swindler designated as a business operator," referring to reports. This suggests that a politician is involved in the development project suspicions carried out by the Construction King, not just villa fraud.


Regarding the 'situations corresponding to the reports,' he said, "(The Construction King) was designated as a preferential business operator with forged and fabricated documents. This is something that cannot happen without enormous power, and it was said that a specific person was involved, and upon actual verification, such a thing did occur." He added, "Because of these circumstances, investigative agencies should conduct thorough investigations to uncover the truth."


He continued, "Considering that such fraudulent acts were committed against numerous victims over a long period, could this have reached this point without evading the investigation and legal nets?" He said, "This is a reasonable concern, and there were stories that a specific politician was behind it, and stakeholders in the region reported these circumstances."



However, Lee refrained from naming the individual, saying, "I will not disclose who the specific person is because it concerns one person's reputation."
