Yes, a substantial examination of arrest warrants for Myung Tae-kyun and former lawmaker Kim Young-sun will be held this afternoon (14th).

Arrest is expected to be decided as early as this evening.

Former lawmaker Kim will appear at the court at 2:30 p.m., and an hour later, Myung will be present at the court in order to undergo a warrant review.

Prosecutors said in their arrest warrant request that Myung has benefited economically from his involvement in the party's nomination by showing off his friendship with politicians, including the presidential candidate and his wife.

At the same time, he pointed out that Myung has directly damaged the representative democracy system stipulated by the Constitution.I also saw that

could destroy other evidence if they already removed evidence such as mobile phones and investigated without detention.

The prosecution found that the money exchanged between Myung and former lawmaker Kim was 76 million won.

It is believed that former lawmaker Kim handed over the money to Myung 16 times since the 2022 parliamentary by-election.

The prosecution said in the arrest warrant request for former lawmaker Kim, there is a seriousness of the crime and a fear of fleeing.

The prosecution pointed out that former lawmaker Kim entrusted most of his parliamentary activities to Myung so that he could actually act like a lawmaker.

At the same time, I saw that the constitutional institution, the National Assembly, exercised its power.

It also stated that it distorted the will of the voters and distorted the principle of representative democracy by combining political power and money.

When the prosecution's full-fledged investigation began, former lawmaker Kim was found to have lost contact with his family and went into hiding.

With the prosecution emphasizing the need for arrest in their arrest warrant claims for the two, attention is focusing on what judgment the court will make.
