As the head of accounting for managing political funds accounts, Kang Hye-kyung ran the funds incorrectly.
At the same time, he confirmed that the money passed to Myung Tae-kyun was 60 million won.

Kim, who stood in front of reporters prior to the prosecution's investigation
, directly refuted the suspicion of a quid pro quo nomination.During the last presidential election,
Gang claimed that Myung Tae-kyun had been nominated by former lawmaker Kim in exchange for 'illegal polls' to the then-candidate Kim Yoon Suk Yeol.
In response, former lawmaker Kim claimed that he did not ask for a nomination at all, and that he knew about the poll through media reports.

In the end, Myung Tae-kyun denied all allegations that he had been nominated by the president and his wife and that he had handed over the money in return.
In particular, he drew a line that he had never heard of the voice file of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol, which has recently grown in wavelength.

However, the prosecution suspects the 60 million won that was handed over to Myung as compensation for the nomination.
Kim, who was called as a reference in June, was summoned as a suspect this time and intensively investigated this part.
The prosecution will call former lawmaker Kim back today to investigate.
In addition, in order to find out the facts, Myung Tae-kyun, also a key figure in the alleged nomination of a quid pro quo, is expected to be called in soon to investigate.
