Former lawmaker Kim Young-sun's two-day prosecution investigation

[Anchor] Kim Young-sun, a former lawmaker of the People's Power who is a key figure in the
Suspicion of Intervention in Nomination, is still under prosecution investigation today following yesterday (3rd).

Ahead of the first suspect's identity investigation, he denied the suspicion of a quid pro quo nomination.

I'll connect you to a reporter for more information.

Reporter Lim Hyung-joon, did former lawmaker Kim attend the prosecution hearing?

[Reporter]

Yes, former lawmaker Kim just attended the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office.

Today's investigation is the second since former lawmaker Kim was converted to a suspect.

Yesterday, I was investigated for nearly 10 hours.

Former lawmaker Kim is accused of handing over 90 million won to Myung Tae-kyun dozens of times after being elected in Changwon's Uichang district in the 2022 by-election.

The prosecution suspects that former lawmaker Kim gave money to Myung in return for the nomination.

Therefore, he was a reference last June, but this time, he is investigating as a suspect.

However, former lawmaker Kim denied the allegations, so let's listen.

Kang Hye-kyung, who was in charge of accounting earlier, claimed in a parliamentary audit that Myung had been nominated by former lawmaker Kim in exchange for "illegal polls" to Yoon Suk Yeol during the last presidential election.

As a result, Myung has been nominated by the president and his wife for former lawmaker Kim and handed over the money in return, which Kim refuted.

The prosecution is expected to soon call in Myung, a key party to the allegation, to investigate.

As the prosecution's investigation was imminent, Myung reportedly appointed a lawyer.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Hyung-joon at the Changwon District Prosecutor's Office.
