[단독]”The office seizure and search…” Police telegram shed by Eun Soo-mi investigation

When Gyeonggi-do Seongnam Mayor Eun Soo-mi was investigated for violating the Political Fund Act in 2018, it was alleged that an incumbent police officer provided information related to the investigation to Mayor Eun. Seongnam City is in the position of “an individual’s deviant behavior that has nothing to do with the silver market.”

On the 19th, Lee Mo, who had been working as a secretary since the election of Mayor Eun in 2018, resigned in March last year, said on the 19th, “When the police sent an opinion of prosecution to the prosecution in connection with the mayor’s violation of the Political Fund Act. He claimed that he delivered them through Telegram from time to time.” Lee claims that Inspector A leaked the details of the investigation so that Mayor Eun could prepare for the prosecution’s investigation or trial. Lee presented the contents of the Telegram messenger conversation that he had had with Inspector A at the time as the basis for the argument. Lee released a picture of a telegram screen that exchanged conversations with Inspector A.

▶Lee = “Please tell me the details ^^”
▶Inspector A = “(Surprise and search) I moved my house to Jeongja-dong (Bundang-gu), but I didn’t know it and went to Itaewon.”
▶Lee = Yes

In the messenger, there is also a content where Inspector A said, “I will immediately inform you of any additional confirmations.” Lee argued for the dialogue, “Inspector A conveyed the situation of the prosecution’s investigation in relation to Mr. B, who connected the driver of Mayor Eun with the businessman who used to be a gangster at the time.”

Lee also released a transcript of the conversation (October 2, 2018), saying, “I actually met Inspector A.” According to this, Inspector A said, “The (Silver Mayor’s) Public Officials Election Act (related) is reported to the local government. I’m working on the Political Fund Act… “I can’t print out the evacuation (the suspect’s newspaper report) and the prosecution’s command, so if you make a copy and look face to face, the answer will come out. I felt like the prosecutor wanted to see him.”

Mr. Lee claims that he met Inspector A at a cafe near Cheonggyesan Mountain in Seoul on October 13, 2018, about ten days later. Mr. Lee argued, “In return for showing the report of the police investigation results, Inspector A asked for a specific company to take over hundreds of billions of dollars of business in Seongnam city.” Mr. Lee added, “I recently reported the Mayor of Silver and the A-Inspector to the Korea Rights Commission.” “I also reported this to the policy adviser, who was closest to the mayor at the time. The silver market must have been reported,” Lee argues.

Mr. Lee is also the informant who recently informed the police and the National Rights Commission of the mayor of Eun’s alleged hiring irregularities among those from the 2018 local election camp. Regarding the reason for his report, Mr. Lee said, “There is overflowing corruption inside Seongnam City, but the mayor of Eun won’t listen to it even if he made a direct statement, so it was released.”

Regarding Mr. Lee’s claim, an official from Seongnam City said on the day, “Mayor Eun has not received any reports or instructions on what Mr. Lee is claiming. I don’t know anything about it.” He also said, “The alleged violation of the Political Fund Act was tried fairly according to the laws and procedures.”

Seongnam City made an official position on the 19th and said, “The related business was not even reviewed in detail at the time,” regarding the specific business mentioned in return by Inspector A. “The project is a’profitable private investment (BTO)’ method, and Seongnam City It is not possible to intervene in interests of a specific person or company, and it is not possible to have the right to make decisions when selecting the project targets.” According to Seongnam City, etc., Inspector A was not in charge of a direct investigation into the allegations of silver mayor. The police plan to confirm the facts of the suspicion without accepting the recent resignation letter issued by Inspector A.

In connection with the report of the alleged irregularities in recruitment of personnel from the election camp in Mayor Eun in April of last year, Lee said, “Suspicious of the collusion between Seongnam City Hall and the local police, he requested that the main office or the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency investigate it at the time of the report by the Police Agency. However, the case was allocated to the Seongnam Joongwon Police Station. He claimed that the investigation couldn’t be done properly because he left the fish to the cat.”

According to the data received from the National Police Agency, the National Police Agency’s Office of Cho Su-jin, on May 13, last year, the Crime Information Division of the National Police Agency forwarded a report of alleged irregularities related to the silver market to the Seongnam Jungwon Police Station to initiate internal investigation. The intelligent crime investigation team at Seongnam Jungwon Police Station closed the case on June 29 last year. The police recently re-invested in the related case. Regarding this, a police official said, “At the Seongnam Joongwon Police Station, the reporter refused to attend the police and the internal affairs were terminated,” said a police official. “Seongnam City lawmaker filed a complaint with the police in October and initiated a re-investigation.”
