[Myeong Tae Gyun: If you look at the flow of money, this case is solved quickly. I've never received a single won.]

The prosecution is expected to focus on the suspicion of nominating a price-based candidate and whether he violated the Political Fund Act.It is suspected that

conducted a free poll for then-candidate Kim Yoon Suk Yeol in the presidential election two years ago, and made him receive the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun instead of this cost.

At that time, the Future Korea Research Institute conducted 81 polls and won the nomination instead of receiving more than 370 million won.

It is suspected that First Lady Kim Gun-hee intervened in the process.

This is what Kang Hye-kyung, a former accounting manager of former lawmaker Kim, revealed in the National Assembly's parliamentary audit and prosecution investigation.

Former lawmaker Kim was elected in the 2022 by-election of the National Assembly in Uichang-gu, Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, by the people's power.

Since then, Myung has been accused of receiving about 90 million won from former lawmaker Kim.Asked by reporters whether he denies allegations related to the cost of nominations, lawyer
said, "It's natural," adding, "If you think about why Kang went in alone without allowing him to join the lawyer, the answer will come out."

In addition, in the phone call with YTN yesterday, he claimed that it was a monetary transaction between Myung and Kang, and that he lent KRW 60 million twice in April and June 2022, and that he received it all at once in January 2024.

The allegations were recently released by the Democratic Party of Korea, which has increased the impact.

The Democratic Party claimed that it was evidence of President Yoon's involvement in former lawmaker Kim's nomination.

There is another issue that the prosecution is grasping, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the prosecution should also investigate the suspicion that Myung was involved in the designation of Changwon's second national industrial complex.It is also suspected that

received confidential information from Changwon City and encouraged acquaintances to purchase the surrounding land.

To confirm this, the prosecution notified former and current officials in charge of Changwon City of their attendance as a reference.

In this regard, Myung's lawyer flatly said, "As a local resident, I was just making ideas and policy suggestions."

The prosecution increased the number of prosecutors to 11 on two occasions, reinforcing it to the level of a special investigation team.

Attention is focusing on what the prosecution will conclude in the future through the investigation of the key figure, Myung Tae-kyun.
