The prosecution, which has been investigating the alleged manipulation of Deutsche Motors stock prices involving First Lady Kim Gun-hee, is expected to dispose of the case as early as today.

With an internal meeting held yesterday and the results of the investigation finally checked, the prevailing view is that Kim will be not prosecuted.

Let's connect with the reporter and listen to the detailed explanation. Reporter Kim Taewon!

Tell us about the prosecution's internal meeting yesterday,

[Reporter]
Yes, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office yesterday held a so-called internal "red team meeting" for about four hours ahead of the final disposition of the Deutsche Motors case.

As there are many doubts surrounding the Deutsche case, the final inspection meeting was held to secure legal legitimacy.

'Red Team' refers to a team within an organization that is intentionally speaking out against it.

About 10 people, including four deputy prosecutors, senior senior prosecutors, and rank-and-file prosecutors, attended to see the results of the investigation from various perspectives.
It is known that it was done by pointing out loopholes or questions in the logic of the
investigation team.

The investigation of the case seems to have been virtually completed, so when and how is the final disposition expected to be made?

[Reporter]
The prosecution is expected to announce the final results of the investigation as early as today.

It is also believed that the decision will be made to actively explain the related contents at the Central District Prosecutors' Office's parliamentary audit scheduled for tomorrow after completing the case.

The investigation team is said to be in the right position to indict Kim and his mother Choi Eun-soon, who are suspected of being involved in market manipulation,
It is known that this conclusion has not changed significantly since the
Red Team meeting.

Please point out the issue of the case and the controversy that will arise in the future,

[Reporter]
Yes, the key was whether Kim was found guilty of aiding and abetting stock price manipulation.

Earlier, as Jeonju Son, who was acquitted in the first trial, was found guilty of aiding and abetting in the second trial,
Like
, it was also expected to affect the disposition of Mrs. Kim, who was a Jeonju,

But the prosecution believes that the situation is different from that of Mrs. Kim, as it is an exceptional case, such as Son communicating directly with the stock price manipulation owner.

There is not enough evidence to suggest that Mrs. Kim knew of the stock price manipulation at the time.

However, if such a result comes out, as in the case of the luxury bag case, the political aftermath, such as criticism of the disposition and the special prosecutor's offensive, is expected to be formidable.

So far, I'm Kim Tae-won of YTN at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
