Yoon Kwan-seok: "I Will Prove My Innocence Against the Prosecutors' Fabricated Investigation"

Regarding the 'money envelope suspicion' in the Democratic Party of Korea's party convention, Representative Yoon Kwan-seok, who was summoned for investigation by the prosecution the previous day, stated, "I will reveal my innocence and the truth against the prosecution's fabricated and planned investigation."

In a statement on the 23rd, Representative Yoon said, "I have already clearly stated several times that I did not instruct, encourage, or deliver money to lawmakers in relation to the Democratic Party's party convention in May 2021."

Representative Yoon left the party earlier this month as the prosecution's investigation into the Democratic Party's money envelope suspicion intensified.

He said, "I finished the prosecution's investigation late last night. First, I would like to express my apologies to the people," adding, "I faced the investigation confidently against the prosecution's unilaterally orchestrated political investigation, but at the same time, I cannot help but feel devastated."

Representative Yoon stated, "The prosecution's investigation, relying solely on edited recordings of unknown sources without context or circumstances, has already lost its legitimacy," and added, "I will boldly fight against the prosecution's excessive planned investigation aimed at suppressing the opposition party and political investigations for the general election. Through legal procedures, I will definitely prove my innocence and grievances."

The prosecution summoned him the previous day and conducted a 12-hour investigation, and it is known that they are reviewing the request for an arrest warrant. If an arrest warrant is requested within the day, there is a possibility that a motion for consent to arrest will be reported at the plenary session on the 25th.
