The car name fell out, and 靑 was’duck tok’ in 6 days… ‘Complete Edition of Insolvency Investigation Before Election’

■’LH Suspicion’ Pandora Box that couldn’t even open the lid

The transaction history of the non-provider of personal information cannot be confirmed

Citizen’s group also dissatisfied with suspicion after one week

I leave it to the special edition… Criticism of “I missed Golden Time”

Although the government announced the results of the first investigation on the allegations of real estate speculation by the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), which took public offenses 11 days ago, there are criticisms that it is difficult to guarantee the reliability of the investigation due to a flaw in the procedure. This is because, in this survey, not only did not verify the name transaction or the family and immediate existence, but also did not access the real estate transaction details of some individuals who did not provide personal information. The government is in a position to resolve such incomplete investigations by requesting the government joint special investigative headquarters to resolve them. However, there are constant concerns that the prosecution will not be able to participate in the investigation due to the adjustment of the investigative powers of the prosecutors. The Blue House also produced only the result that “there is no speculative transaction above the secretary level,” just six days after President Moon Jae-in’s order.

It is pointed out that the first survey results announced by the government joint investigation team on this day limited the survey targets to’Ministry of Land and LH executives and employees’ because of the unreliable background. The joint investigation team conducted an investigation with 4,509 and 9,839 employees of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and LH, respectively, and identified 20 suspected speculation. The spouse and direct descendants were excluded from the survey. However, due to the nature of real estate speculation, LH or the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport executives and employees themselves do not directly engage in land transactions. The government is in a position that the investigation of family and direct existence will be conducted through the Special Investigation Headquarters. The inability to grasp the situation of’car-name transaction’ is also considered a problem. The joint investigation team reports the real estate transactions of LH and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 6 new cities (Gwangmyeong Siheung, Namyangju Wangsuk, Hanam Gyosan, Incheon Gyeyang, Goyang Changneung, Bucheon Captain), and large-scale housing sites with more than 1 million ㎡ (Gwacheon and Ansan superiors). The survey was conducted by cross-validating with the land ledger of. However, it is pointed out that this method can only grasp the irregularities exposed on the surface, but has limitations in grasping the actual flow of money. Also, an employee who lately agreed to provide personal information was omitted from the results of this survey. The government is in a position to announce the results of the survey of 26 people (one from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and 25 LH) who have submitted consent to provide personal information since the last 10 days.

The government is in a position to hand over the investigation of the direct existence and borrowed name transactions, which were omitted in the first investigation, to the Special Investigation Headquarters. However, there are criticisms from the legal community that the government spent eight days after filing the suspicion, devoting time to’investigation’ rather than’investigation’ and exploding the golden time to investigate the substance. On the 2nd, the government entered into the formation of a joint investigation team after the lawyers’ meeting for democratic society (Minbyun) and the solidarity of participation raised such suspicions. The joint investigation team completed the composition on the 4th, two days later, and started a full-scale investigation. On the 9th, a week after the suspicion was filed, the police seized and searched the headquarters of LH’s headquarters in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do and the homes of employees.

Even if the special edition initiates an investigation, there are concerns that the police-centered composition will lead to a’blind-tang investigation’. This is because prosecutors with extensive experience in the investigation cannot participate in the special edition due to the adjustment of the prosecutor’s right to be applied from this year. In this joint investigation team, only one professional real estate investigation prosecutor was dispatched. Choi Chang-won, the first deputy chief of the Joint Investigation Group, met with reporters on the 10th and explained, “It is the principle that prosecutors are not dispatched to a special copy is the principle of the adjustment of the investigative power,” and “because the investigation is in the realm of the police.”

The opposition, the People’s Power, criticized the government’s findings as “the unfair finalization of the Moon Jae-in regime.” Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Forces Emergency Response Committee, pointed out that “the Moon Jae-in regime greatly touched the backlash of public sentiment, especially in real estate, among the three fair issues such as entrance examination, military service, and real estate,” he pointed out at the party’s non-commissioned meeting. Ho-young Joo, head of the People’s Forces, said, “It is urgent not only to conduct the investigation by the government joint investigation team, but also to receive only one prosecutor and show it as’organic cooperation with the speculum’.”

Civic groups that raised suspicions such as Minbyun and the solidarity of participation also criticized the survey as “it has not deviated from the level of arranging basic factual relations.” Immediately after the joint investigation team was announced, they made a comment and asked, “Please transparently disclose the specific grounds and standards for judging 20 suspected speculation cases, and the land transactions of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and LH employees who are not included in suspected speculation cases.”

The groups also strongly filled out that “there is a clear limit to the investigation by the government joint investigation team. As expected, the investigation method of the joint investigation team has not deviated from the level of arranging very basic facts.” He pointed out, “Because the target is limited to employees of LH Corporation and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it did not lead to investigations on speculative behavior through spouses, direct relatives, acquaintances or new names.”
