In addition, the Democratic Party, the government, and the Blue House are known to have formed a consensus on the forced investigation on the suspicion of pre-speculation of land in a new city by an employee of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) on the 7th.
The party administration held a high-level council on this afternoon to discuss countermeasures against allegations of land speculation by former and current LH employees.
It is reported that the party leadership, including Lee Nak-yeon, the leader of the Democratic Party, strongly insisted on a forced investigation of allegations of speculation.
A participant at one conference said, “We believe that forced investigations will be inevitable for transactions in the name of family or relatives, pseudonyms and loan names,” and “Because I am a public official (or public company employee), I can agree to access the account, but others agree. It is difficult to receive,” he said.
“If that happens, you have no choice but to enter into a forced investigation,” he explained.
This week, a joint government investigation team is expected to announce the results of the first investigation soon on allegations of speculation by LH employees. However, in the case of transactions that are not in the name of the person, it is likely that a forced investigation will be inevitable as it is difficult to confirm.
Another meeting attendee said, “There was no disagreement between the government and the Blue House in the Democratic Party’s argument regarding the forced investigation.
The Democratic Party has previously emphasized a strong response to the allegations.
Representative Lee Nak-yeon also met with reporters after completing the Youth Task Force (TF) activity report and policy agreement meeting at the National Assembly this afternoon, saying, “A very intense investigation is underway and the results of the first investigation are expected to come out in the near future.” said.
“If the first investigation is not enough, a higher and more powerful investigation will be followed immediately.”
