[앵커]
Suspicions have been raised that front-line officials have been speculating on real estate, including buying billions of land and buildings using inside information.
As the suspicion of’LH land speculation’ spread to local governments, Gyeonggi-do decided to conduct a thorough investigation of related departments, construction workers, and families.
Reporter Kim Woo-jun’s report.

Sohol-eup, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do.
This is the site where the history of Urban Railway Line 7 will be built in 2028.

Pocheon City Hall civil servant A purchased the land and buildings near the planned historic site in September last year.
It is a one-story prefabricated building purchased by a public official from Pocheon City.
On weekends, it is a large mart where many nearby residents gather.
Officials bought 2,600 square meters of nearby land, including the building, under a joint name with his wife.
All the remaining amounts were covered by loans except for the purchase cost of 4.1 billion won and 200 million won.
The problem is the department where Mr. A worked.
As it was confirmed that he worked in the department in charge of the urban railroad extension project until immediately before the purchase, it was suspected that it was speculative with internal information.

As suspicions of land speculation spread to frontline officials, Gyeonggi Province, where the development site was concentrated, formed a full-scale investigation team led by an auditor.
The subjects of the survey were public officials from related departments in the province, construction employees and families such as Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation.
The plan is to thoroughly investigate whether speculation is not only in the 3rd new city, but also in six business districts including Yongin Platform City and Hyeondeok District in Pyeongtaek, and neighboring areas.

The Participatory Solidarity and Minbyun, who first raised allegations of speculation on LH land, are also moving quickly.
Reports of allegations of speculation against not only the 3rd new city but also the 2nd new city are working hard to collect evidence.

As public opinion is a big issue, voices are rising that it is urgent to prepare measures to prevent speculation by public officials along with a thorough investigation.
