Minister of Public Administration and Security Jeon Hae-cheol said on the’LH special prosecution’ agreed by the opposition parties on the 17th, “I don’t think the current investigation by the government joint special investigation headquarters (special edition) should be hampered by any results.”

The former minister attended the general meeting of the National Assembly’s Administrative Safety Committee on the same day and said, “I don’t think it is appropriate for me to give any opinion on the part agreed by the opposition parties in the National Assembly.” Former Minister Kim Hyeong-dong asked Congressman Kim Hyeong-dong, “Is it possible to trust the ability or ability of the special edition,” he replied, “I know that you are working hard.”
The day before, the Democratic Party and the People’s Power agreed to conduct a special inspection on allegations of speculation by employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and a full-scale real estate investigation for all members of the National Assembly. The former minister’s remarks can be interpreted as meaning that even if a special prosecutor is launched, the police-led special investigation should not be reduced.
Police Commissioner Kim Chang-ryong also said on the day that “a case that takes place on a large scale across the country like this time can be more than a few thousand people to be investigated,” he said. “It is effective to investigate in a police officer with a national command system.” Commissioner Kim stressed, “Even in the actual 1st and 2nd new city speculation investigations, the on-site investigation was carried out by the police.”
Currently, LH employees’ suspicion of speculation in the 3rd new city is being processed by a special edition centered on the National Investigation Headquarters (guksubon). Some pointed out that prosecutors with experience in investigating suspicions of speculation in the first and second period should be put in, but the government and the ruling party have drew a line that they are not subject to direct investigation by the prosecution limited to six crimes.
However, on the same day, the former minister said, “I know that the prosecution should and will do the investigation if it is revealed that any public officials are involved or suspected of being involved.” This means that if a matter related to the six major crimes, such as corruption, economy, public officials, elections, defense projects, and major catastrophes, that the prosecution can directly investigate is confirmed, you can participate in the investigation at any time.
On the afternoon of the 17th, the police headed for a vehicle carrying confiscated goods after a second seizure search for the alleged land speculation at the headquarters of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) in Chungmu-gong-dong, Jinju-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. News 1
Regarding the investigation of alleged speculation of LH, Commissioner Kim said, “We are devising various investigation techniques that can check (speculation) in all directions, such as real estate owners or borrowed accounts. We are actively investigating,” he said.
As of the 17th, the special edition is expanding its investigation, including internal and internal investigations on 198 suspected speculation and 37 cases. On this day, the Special Investigation Unit for real estate speculation at the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency under the special headquarters confiscated and searched six locations, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the headquarters of Jinju LH in Gyeongnam, and the headquarters and branches of North Siheung Nonghyup.
