In the parliamentary inspection of the National Policy Committee on the Financial Supervisory Service, the ruling and opposition parties argued over the prosecution's non-prosecution of Kim Gun-hee's alleged stock price manipulation.

Asked by opposition lawmakers about their position on the non-prosecution, Financial Supervisory Service chief Lee Bok-hyun replied that the FSS was not in a position to express its position, not a case that was transferred to the prosecution.

The prosecution's non-prosecution over the alleged manipulation of the stock price of Deutsche Motors by First Lady Kim Gun-hee was also a hot topic in the parliamentary inspection of the Financial Supervisory Service by the National Policy Committee of the National Assembly.

Opposition lawmakers slammed the prosecution, calling it a day of prosecutorial disgrace, and the ruling party responded by saying, "Don't attack politics at the parliamentary inspection."

[Cheon Jun-ho / Democratic Party of Korea National Assembly member: I think it's a day of disgraceful history. It is the day when Kim Gun-hee, who is a key suspect in the Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation case, is not an accomplice, but is actually the main culprit, was not prosecuted.]

[Kang Myung-koo / People's Power: I think the day of prosecution disgrace is the day of prosecution disgrace after impeaching the prosecutors who investigated Lee Jae-myung and setting them up at the hearing. What do you think?]

Lee Bok-hyun, the head of the Financial Supervisory Service, responded to an opposition lawmaker's question about the FSS' position.

[Lee Bok-hyun / Director of Financial Supervisory Service: It's a general story that I told you that I'm in a position where I can't answer, but it's the first time I've heard about Kwon's announcement after seeing Senator Chun's remarks.]

On the other hand, the ruling and opposition parties criticized Financial Supervisory Service chief Lee Bok-hyun for causing confusion in the financial market due to his back-and-forth remarks and the financial authorities' negligence in supervision over the Timef crisis.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Member: Did you see the news that the base rate is set by the Bank of Korea and the bank rate is set by the head of the Financial Supervisory Service? Criticism News.]

[Kim Yong-man / Democratic Party of Korea Member of Parliament: Let me ask you a few blunt questions. Where did this 20 billion won go now? Have you got the whereabouts?]

[Lee Bok-hyun / Financial Supervisory Service Director: As a result, we believe that the separate deposit funds have not been used properly]

Director Lee replied that the Financial Supervisory Service is working with the prosecution to find out what purpose and where Timon spent 20 billion won in separate deposit funds.
