The prosecution found that the money exchanged between Myung and former lawmaker Kim was 76 million won.

It is believed that former lawmaker Kim handed over the money to Myung 16 times since the 2022 parliamentary by-election.

The prosecution said in the arrest warrant request for former lawmaker Kim, there is a seriousness of the crime and a fear of fleeing.

The prosecution pointed out that former lawmaker Kim left most of his parliamentary activities to Myung so that he could actually act like a lawmaker.

At the same time, I saw that the constitutional institution, the National Assembly, exercised its power.

It also stated that it distorted the public will of the voters and distorted the principle of representative democracy by combining political power and money.

Former lawmaker Kim was found to have gone into hiding without contacting his family when the prosecution's full-fledged investigation began.

As the prosecution emphasizes the need for arrest in the arrest warrant bill for the two, attention is focused on what the court will decide.
