A media outlet specializing in investigative reporting has released the full text of the investigation report of Myung Tae-kyun, written by the prosecution investigating the "suspected intervention in the nomination."

The prosecution wrote this report in November last year.

An investigation into the president and his wife is needed to resolve the suspicions, and controversy is expected over why the prosecution has not investigated in the meantime.

The starting point of various suspicions raised so far is the "suspected involvement in the nomination" of the president and his wife and the "suspected manipulation of public opinion surveys."

During the last presidential election, Myung Tae-kyun conducted a poll for the candidate at the time of Yoon Suk Yeol and has been nominated by former lawmaker Kim Young-sun in return.

Newstapa, a media outlet specializing in investigative reporting, released a 107-page prosecution investigation report, saying it is evidence to support the allegation.The conversation between Mrs. Kim Gun-hee and Mr. Myung, in which

is included in the report, contains the contents of the poll.

It contains Kim's request to rank the presidential candidate at the time of Yoon Suk Yeol as the number one candidate in the opinion poll conducted during the party's primary process.

Prosecutors suspect that they have been polling in this way and receiving Kim's nomination in return.

However, the prosecution has already prepared this report in November last year, but has not investigated the president and his wife right away.

In addition, most of the members of the nomination management committee were investigated at the time, but lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun, the head of the committee, did not.

After criticism was raised that the prosecution's investigation was in limbo,
The
Changwon District Prosecutors' Office said it is constantly investigating all suspicions and crimes raised by the media in accordance with laws and principles.

In the meantime, controversy continues over how the investigation report was leaked.

Conservative civic groups also urged the prosecution to investigate the leak of the investigation report, saying it was a criminal act.

The prosecution is speeding up the process of selecting more than 150,000 message materials, including SNS, contained in so-called "golden phones."

It is reported that the plan is to finish it within this week at the latest.
