The prosecution is looking into the allegations that there was a solicitation and money transaction between the Future Korea Research Institute and a local wealthy man, which is known to have been operated by Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the "Suspicious Intervention of Nomination."

Kang Hye-kyung, who raised the suspicion, will be investigated by the prosecution for the 10th time today (25th), and plans to submit data and make statements on the suspicion of the poll.

Recently, the prosecution secured a statement from Kang Hye-kyung to the effect that "I know that money was exchanged in July 2021 when A, a wealthy man in Andong, asked Myung Tae-kyun to hire his son."

Another businessman in Andong, B, lent 200 million won to Myung's Future Korea Research Institute, of which 100 million won was A's money, and he was told that "you don't have to pay it back because it's for a request."As the son of

A is working in the presidential office in Yongsan, suspicions arose that A asked Myung for his son's employment and that it was actually done.

In response, Mr. B, who lent 200 million won to the research institute, refuted that he received the money that Mr. A was supposed to invest in the factory he acquired, and that he did not act as a delivery tool, nor did he ask for it.

[Mr. B / Businessman in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province (23rd): I lent you money in mid-July 2021, and that's before President Yoon Suk Yeol even joined the party. And when the presidential candidate has not been decided, what kind of job request is made? Who do you ask for a job?]

The reporters contacted Mr. A to hear his position on the suspicion, but there was no answer.

Jang Ye-chan, a former Supreme Council member of the People's Power Youth, said that A's son recommended him to the presidential transition committee, and said, "A's son is unfair, and his father doesn't even know who Myung is."

The prosecution calls Kang Hye-kyung, who raised suspicions, for the 10th time to investigate.Mr. Kang

plans to submit evidence related to the alleged public opinion poll by people involved, including Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, and state the relevant information in Monday's investigation.Mayor

Oh dismissed the allegation that Myung had polled for Oh as "outrageous" and said he had never received a single poll or other data that he had provided.

The prosecution earned time for the investigation by extending the arrest period of key figures of the "suspected intervention in the nomination" to the 3rd of next month.

However, as related suspicions continue to emerge, the investigation seems to be tightening the reins for the rest of the year.
