Prosecutors investigate summoning former lawmaker Kim Young-sun as early as next week

Attention is being paid to the prosecution, which is investigating the alleged violation of the Political Fund Act by Myung Tae-kyun and former lawmaker Kim Young-sun.

This is because allegations of Kim Gun-hee's involvement in the nomination have spread to the president since the release of the Yoon Suk Yeol president's voice file.

The prosecution is expected to call former lawmaker Kim Young-sun to investigate as early as next week.

The voice recording file released by the Democratic Party of Korea in June last year, saying it is evidence that President Yoon Suk Yeol intervened in the nomination process when he was elected.

Presidential Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok drew the line during a parliamentary audit, calling it excessive political attacks.

[Jeong Jin-seok / Presidential Chief of Staff: Excessive political attack, one-sided argument, and one-sided interpretation of the law. It's hard to agree.]

Therefore, attention is being paid to the prosecution's investigation into Myung Tae-kyun and former lawmaker Kim Young-sun, who are key figures in the alleged intervention of the nomination.

The prosecution considers the 90 million won exchanged between former lawmaker Kim and Myung after the by-election as a violation of the Political Fund Act.

Accordingly, the prosecution is closely analyzing tablet PCs and mobile phones secured by first confiscating and searching Myung's home twice.

In addition, while comparing about 27,000 recorded files secured by Kang Hye-kyung, we plan to call Kang back to investigate if necessary.

The prosecution will summon Myung and former lawmaker Kim after confirming the basic facts through this.

First of all, former lawmaker Kim is the first to be summoned.

Considering the degree of analysis of the confiscated material and former lawmaker Kim's schedule, it is highly likely to be summoned next week.

After the investigation of former lawmaker Kim and the analysis of Myung's mobile phone, which was recently confiscated, the timing of the summons of Myung, the core of the suspicion, is also expected to be set.
