Opening a working-level council for investigating’LH speculation’ for speculation and discussing cooperation plans
On this morning, a working-level meeting between the police and the prosecution will be held in connection with the investigation of alleged speculation in the third new city.
Choi Seung-ryul, head of the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency, and Lee Jong-geun, head of the criminal prosecutor’s office at the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office, share opinions on how to cooperate with the prosecutors in relation to the LH investigation at a council meeting held at the Seoul Government Complex at 10 am.
The LH case is currently being investigated by the police in accordance with the adjustment of the investigative powers of the prosecutor. The prosecution is responsible for requesting warrants and maintaining prosecution. Some argue that prosecutors with extensive experience in real estate-related investigations should be in charge of the investigation or dispatch prosecutors to the investigation team.
