The Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-chul) announced that they have reissued an arrest warrant against Kang on charges of violating the Political Parties Act and bribery.


According to the prosecution, Kang is suspected of conspiring with Democratic Party lawmakers Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Sung-man, and former Democratic Party Deputy Secretary-General Lee Jung-geun (indicted in custody) from March to May 2021 to distribute a total of 94 million won to members of the National Assembly and others to elect former party leader Song Young-gil at the party convention. He is also charged with receiving 3 million won in September 2020 from a businessman under the pretext of a delivery request for equipment at a power plant under the Water Resources Corporation.
