(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Eun-jung Lee = On the 17th, the Financial Services Commission and the Financial Supervisory Service revealed disagreements over whether or not the Korea Securities Depository was sanctioned against the’Optimus Fund Incident’.

The Financial Supervisory Service held a sanction review committee on the 18th for NH Investment & Securities, the largest seller of Optimus Fund, Hana Bank, which was a major sales outlet (trusted company), and KSD. In the meantime, KFTC was not subject to sanctions. In this situation, the KFTC was the office management company that checks for abnormalities in the fund.

Financial Supervisory Commissioner Yoon Seok-heon attended the general meeting of the Political Affairs Committee of the National Assembly on this day and said, “I will follow the conclusions from the Board of Trustees” on whether or not to sanction the KSD. The auditor is examining whether the supervision of Optimus was appropriate. This means that the KFTC may also be subject to sanctions depending on the results of the audit.

However, Eun Seong-soo, chairman of the Financial Services Commission, showed a different view from Director Yoon on the sanctions issue of KSD. The Financial Services Commission has laid down the interpretation of the law to the effect that it is difficult for the KFTC to hold direct responsibility for the Optimus incident just by doing’simple calculations’. KSD is a public institution under the Financial Services Commission.

Chairman Eun said in a response to the Political Affairs Committee, “we also received a voter interpretation from experts.”

Meanwhile, Director Yoon replied, “I will find a part to reduce (the sanctions)” to the point of the Democratic Party’s Rep. Hong Seong-guk, who said that the former and current CEOs of securities companies that sold the’lime fund crisis’ were subject to excessive sanctions.
