The police said they would do their best in the investigation, dismissing the claim that the prosecution should be in charge of the preliminary speculation of the Gwangmyeong and Siheung new towns by the employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation. Nam Gu-jun, head of the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency, met with reporters at the Seodaemun-gu Police Office in Seoul on the morning of the 8th and said, “It is difficult to agree that the prosecution should do (investigation) because the police continued to crack down on real estate last year and accumulated the experience and capabilities of the investigation. “Since the National Investigation Headquarters has been launched, we will do our best to ensure that the police have a sense of mission and show their investigation capabilities.” Regarding the point that “the prosecution related to the pre-speculation of the first and second new cities was conducted by the prosecution,” the head of the Nam rebutted, “It is true that the prosecution was a control tower at the time, but the police were also dispatched to the investigation team to participate, and considerable results came from the police.” . The police pointed out that although the main body of the investigation related to the alleged speculation is the police, the prosecution may also participate in the investigation in the future investigation process. Investigation Bureau Chief Seung-Ryeol Choi explained, “It seems that the case where the accusation has been filed is not the subject of investigation by the prosecution, but if the person concerned is an executive or if the subject of investigation expands, the prosecution who has the authority to investigate corruption crimes may investigate.” Director Choi said, “Apart from the case that the Prime Minister’s Office is conducting a full investigation and the case in which the police has filed the accusation, we plan to collect intelligence through the Crime Information Division of the National Police Agency and conduct various investigations,” he said. “It is best to investigate so that speculation does not become an investment. I will do my best.” The police, which completed the investigation of the accuser and the reference person (attorneys for the democratic society) last week, are predicting that the investigation will accelerate in earnest from this week.
