claimed in October 2021, ahead of the last presidential election, that CEO Lee received about 2 billion won in exchange for business favors to the violent organization International Mafia while serving as mayor of Seongnam.

He raised suspicions based on the claims of Park, an international mafia activist who he represented, and in the process, a photo of the cash bundle pointed out as evidence was released at the National Audit Office, but it turned out to have nothing to do with the suspicions.The first sentence for lawyer

will be issued on January 24 next year.
