Former lawmaker Kim is being investigated by the prosecution, right?

[Reporter]
Former lawmaker Kim attended the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office at around 10:10 a.m. today.

Prior to the investigation, former lawmaker Kim repeatedly denied his allegations, claiming that Kang Hye-kyung, who was in charge of accounting, was responsible for the alleged violation of the Political Fund Act.

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

Yesterday, we were investigated for nearly 12 hours.

Former lawmaker Kim said yesterday that the amount of money handed over to Myung Tae-kyun after being elected in Changwon's Uichang district in the 2022 by-election was 60 million won.

The prosecution suspects that former lawmaker Kim received money in return after asking Myung to nominate him.

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.
