Kang Hye-kyung's lawyers asked the court to preserve evidence of the mobile phone used by the president and his wife, but this is the same as asking for confiscation?
◇ Park Sung-bae Application for preservation of evidence is a process of applying to a judge when there are circumstances in which it is difficult to secure evidence in the future if the evidence is not preserved in advance. It is a request for a witness examination of the seizure and search before the trial proceeds, but in fact, from the prosecution's point of view, it is enough to get a search warrant and search. This system is actually designed for suspects or defendants. There is no way to secure someone's evidence because the suspect or the accused do not have the right to investigate. At this time, you can use the power of the judge to apply for evidence preservation when you need to secure evidence in advance. Kang Hye-kyung's side can be said to be some of the suspects in the case, and the suspect Kang Hye-kyung asked the judge to preserve the evidence in advance, and the evidence to be preserved is the mobile phone of President Yoon's husband and wife, who recently mentioned that President Yoon and his wife would change their mobile phones. Although he/she could not secure Myung's golden phone on his/her old mobile phone, there is a very high possibility that the details of the conversation with Myung exist, so he/she applied for the preservation of evidence to secure the data in advance.

It's called the cell phone and golden phone of the Myung Tae-kyun you mentioned, but it's still in limbo. You think the prosecution is going to prosecute this further, right?
◇ Park Sung-bae As the prosecution prosecutes Myung Tae-kyun today, it is expected to add an evidence destruction teacher or an act of concealing evidence. Earlier, Myung Tae-kyun acknowledged the existence of the golden phone, but insisted that he threw it away through his brother-in-law, and the prosecution raided his brother-in-law's house in September, but the golden phone was not found. It is likely that he will be prosecuted further on charges of concealing evidence or concealing evidence, and lawyer Myung Tae-kyun made this statement to reporters yesterday when he entered the prosecution's investigation. If Myung Tae-kyun still has his cell phone, he does not need to submit it to the prosecution.
He has said that he will submit it to the public through the media, directly to the court, or to the Democratic Party seeking to acquire the government. He put the premise that it was his personal opinion.Ma still seems to judge that the prosecution's investigation is unilaterally running against him by the logic of power. If we mention the fact that the golden phone exists, we expected the investigation to control the level to some extent, but it is not. If so, there is no need to present a golden phone to the prosecution that has prejudices against them. The possibility of becoming a kind of public interest informant by presenting this golden phone to the public can be fully considered, and by submitting this golden phone to the court, it is read as a willingness to receive considerable sentencing reduction judgment for the status of reporting related facts.

Attention is also focused on the whereabouts of the golden phone. There are now talks about the possibility that Myung Tae-kyun may have influenced the selection of Changwon National Industrial Complex, but it means that Myung knew this before the candidate site was announced. According to a media report yesterday, it has also been confirmed that an acquaintance of Myeong bought land near the candidate site worth 3 billion won.
◇ Park Sung-bae
Myeong Tae-kyun is also suspected of intervening in the designation of Changwon National Industrial Complex, and there is also a rumor that an acquaintance used the information to obtain property gains. An acquaintance of Myung Tae-kyun confirmed that he bought 800 million won worth of land around the planned site and used private information, and when I checked, it was found that the acquaintance purchased a total of 3 billion won through joint equity investment.
Of course, this acquaintance is sticking to the purpose that he purchased the land for rural housing development and has nothing to do with Myung Tae-kyun. However, this part may constitute a violation of the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act. Not only if a public official provides confidential information or undisclosed information of his or her public institution to allow a third party to acquire property gains, but also if a third party acquires property gains by receiving relevant information, all land acquired using this information will be confiscated if the charges are proven. The related investigation is proceeding at a fairly rapid pace in the prosecution.
