[전국]Jeju Island, investigation of officials belonging to ‘2 airport speculation suspicion’…effectiveness is questionable

[앵커]

While suspicion of real estate speculation from LH is spreading across the country,

Jeju Island said it would self-investigate allegations of speculation by incumbent officials on the planned site of Jeju 2nd Airport.

However, the effectiveness of investments mobilized in borrowed accounts, relatives or acquaintances, etc. cannot be investigated in reality, and the effectiveness is questionable.

Jeju 2 Airport was announced in November 2015.

Before and after the announcement of the location, land transactions in Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo, the second airport, increased significantly from the previous year.

As a result of the analysis of land transactions at the time, about 65% were identified as residents of other regions such as Seoul.

As the LH crisis emerged recently, it was argued that a thorough investigation was also necessary for the planned site of Jeju 2nd Airport.

In the midst of this, Jeju Island decided to first investigate allegations of speculation by public officials.

The subjects of the investigation are all currently employed public officials in Jeju Island.

The subject of the survey is around November 2015, ahead of the announcement of the expected location of the 2nd airport, and the area of ​​Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, which is the expected location.

It is conducted in a way that receives the consent of all public officials and compares and contrasts with the actual transaction report data.

When real estate speculation is revealed, it has said that it will take strict measures.

However, since Jeju Island does not have judicial authority, the effectiveness of it is questionable as it cannot fundamentally respond to speculation by former public officials as well as borrowed accounts, or by mobilizing relatives and acquaintances.

Apart from Jeju Island, a dedicated investigation team was formed to crack down on real estate speculation in the Jeju Police Agency.

The police decided to crack down on allegations of speculation in the planned area of ​​Jeju 2nd Airport, the use of internal real estate information by public officials and executives and employees of public institutions, and the illegal acquisition of farmland.
