14 public officials in Gwangmyeong and Siheung… Their own’new city speculation room’

[앵커]

The start of allegations of speculation in the new city was LH, but I don’t know how far the end will go. It immediately spread to local governments. Gwangmyeong and Siheung City conducted their own investigation, and it was confirmed that 14 civil servants owned land in the new city area. More than half of the land has been bought in the last 5 years. Even looking at the region, doubts of speculation raised not only about Gwangmyeong, Siheung, and Bucheon, but also about the new cities of Gwacheon. First of all, it is necessary to see the announcement of the government joint investigation team tomorrow (11th), but it is evaluated that there must have already been a limit because it is concentrated on real name transactions and there is no investigation right.

First, reporter Jung Yong-hwan.

When it was sold, it continued to come out as soon as it was sold.

I’m talking about public officials who have land on the new city project site.

Gwangmyeong City today announced that it has found five new officials who have purchased land in the new city’s planned site.

There are a total of six, up to the already confirmed Level 6 Civil Service Team Leader A.

They bought rice fields and fields, mountains and lands in Gahak-dong, Okgil-dong, Gwangmyeong-dong, and Noonsa-dong in Gwangmyeong-si from 2015 to last year.

There is also a high possibility that there will be more government officials who have purchased the land.

Out of the five districts surveyed by Gwangmyeong City, the’Gwangmyeong Cultural Complex Urban Development Project District’ with a size of 560,000 square meters has not yet been investigated.

After the investigation of public officials is over, we plan to continue the investigation of the family.

It is a public housing district in Gwangmyeong and Siheung, where many public officials have been confirmed to own land.

Here, too, I could hear stories related to public officials.

Most of the landlords here were said to be from other neighborhoods.

[인근 주민 : 여기가 주로 뭐 땅 주인들이 두어 번씩 왔다 갔다 바뀌었죠. 원주민들 땅은 없어요. 소유가 다 외지인들로 넘어갔죠. 저렇게 하우스 같은 거 지어가지고 세 놓고…]

I also heard that a city hall employee recently inherited a land owned by a new name.

[인근 주민 : 아버지 건데, 뭐냐면 남의 명의로 샀었나 봐 이걸. 그래가지고 상속하는 걸로…하여간 시청 직원이라고 그래.]

Today, eight government officials from Siheung City, Gyeonggi Province, announced that they have land on the new city project site.

Three of them have bought land within the last five years.

The suspicion of speculation by public officials surrounding the 3rd new town is increasing.
