On the 8th, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun ordered the establishment of a joint government special investigation headquarters in connection with the allegations of speculation in the 3rd new town by employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH).
The government joint investigation team composed of relevant ministries such as the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and local governments is conducting a fact-finding investigation, but it is based on the judgment that there is a limit to the investigation of illegal activities due to lack of investigation authority.
Therefore, it is expected that the investigation of the alleged speculation of land in the third new city will continue in the order of the investigation by the government joint investigation group targeting public officials, followed by the investigation by the government joint special investigation headquarters centered on the National Police Agency’s National Investigation Headquarters (guksubon).
The Prime Minister’s office said that on the morning of that day, Prime Minister Chung called Nam Gu-jun, head of the National Investigation Headquarters, to the office of the government office in Seoul and received a report on the operation plan of the Special Investigation Team for Real Estate Speculation.
Prime Minister Chung said, “The special investigation team currently installed in the noodle head is expanded and reorganized to the government joint special investigation headquarters where related organizations such as the National Tax Service and the Financial Services Commission participate, and all illegal and illegal speculation, including under-name transactions, including public officials in the development area. Investigate thoroughly,” he stressed.
Prime Minister Jung explained the reason why he ordered the establishment of a joint special investigation headquarters, saying, “The government joint investigation team does not have the authority to investigate or investigate the private sector, so there is a limit to revealing illegal activities such as loan-name transactions and unregistered resale.”
In addition, Prime Minister Chung ordered, “The guksubon should promptly and thoroughly investigate the matters requested by the government joint investigation team along with the cases currently accused, so that a handful of suspicions do not remain.”
The government plans to immediately request an investigation into the noodle copy when the results of the first investigation by the government joint investigation team are announced during this week.
Prime Minister Chung also ordered a strict response to acts of disruption in the real estate market, such as cancellation after reporting false transactions.
Prime Minister Chung said, “Market manipulation and illegal resale through collusion are representative actions that hinder the housing welfare of the general public.” Don’t let it stick,” he said.
Prime Minister Chung said, “The public economy case is a key investigation area of the police according to the adjustment of the prosecutor’s right to investigate, and it will be a measure of the police investigation capability.” “I asked.
Meanwhile, in relation to the criticism that the Ministry of Land, which is the subject of the investigation, is’self-investigating’ allegations of land speculation, the government jointly said, “Please make sure that there is no misunderstanding by knowing that the participation of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, etc. is limited to the inquiry and cooperation of the real estate transaction computer network in the investigation process.” He instructed the chief of the investigation team, Choi Chang-won, the first deputy chief of state affairs.
