SH Corporation revealed that the names and dates of birth of 1531 employees and 4484 families were cross-checked with compensation data. The target land was Magok, Hangdong, Wirye, Ogeum, Naegok, Segok 2, Godeokgangil District, where compensation was in progress, Seongdu, Guryong, Sinnae 4, Gangdong Industrial Complex, Yeongdeungpo, Yeonhui, and Jeungsan districts.
As a result of the investigation, a total of 4 people received compensation (1 for land and 3 for obstacles). Of these, one person who received land compensation in Segok District 2 was not suspicious of receiving compensation with the inherited land before joining SH Corporation. Two people who received compensation for obstacles (green house) in Godeokgangil District were not charged in the prosecution’s investigation for filing false farming documents in 2019, but SH Corporation was subject to severe disciplinary action (demotion) after its own investigation. The other one who received compensation for impediments (green house) seems to be less likely to speculate, SH Corporation said. Before the employee joined the company in 2002, his father lived near the compensation area.
SH Corporation President Kim Se-yong said, “We preemptively conducted a thorough survey on the construction project district to meet the case of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and to resolve public doubts.” It seems that there was an effect of blocking corruption at the source.”
However, even with the results of this self-investigation by SH Corporation, the market’s doubts remain unanswered. First of all, the survey on the direct existence of employees with separated generations was not included. SH Corporation said, “We plan to investigate whether there is any compensation for land or obstacles in the above 14 business districts by obtaining consent for the use of personal information even for families of employees separated from households.”
It is also pointed out that speculation through acquaintances or new names is beyond the scope of the investigation and its limits are clear. The so-called’self-investigation’ issue of reliability is also raised.
Experts agree that a third-party investigation is necessary, not self-investigation. Shim Gyo-eon, a professor at the Department of Real Estate at Konkuk University, said, “I think SH employees were smarter than LH employees.” did. He added, “The result is somewhat scheduled in the self-investigation of just matching the names of employees and some family members.”
Go Jun-seok, adjunct professor at Dongguk University’s Graduate School of Law, said, “I have no choice but to lose confidence in that it is a self-investigation of the SH Corporation,” he said. “I am not sure how many people will believe this word.”
Previously, a question about its effectiveness was raised in a’self-investigation’ that the government joint investigation team conducted a total investigation of 14,000 employees of LH and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport and confirmed a total of 20 suspected speculation.
The group of lawyers for democratic society (Minbyun) and the Solidarity of Participation responded to the results of the survey, saying, “The survey method of the joint investigation team, which compares the list of employees of LH and the Ministry of Land and Land, the details of land transactions in the region, and a certified copy of the register, is very basic as expected. “I couldn’t get out of the level of organizing the facts,” he said.
Candidates running for the mayor of Seoul have announced that if they take office as the mayor, they will initiate a misconduct investigation separately from the SH Corporation investigation.
Democratic Party candidate Park Young-sun said, “We will conduct a thorough investigation of Seoul and SH through a special judicial police officer and the autonomous police that will be transferred to the city.” Candidate Se-hoon Oh said, “SH Corporation performs the same authority and duties as LH. It is a reasonable doubt.” I will investigate.” Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo said, “We need to conduct a thorough investigation into whether there is any corruption in the public sector including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport for all the new town development processes in the past.”
