檢, ‘5 billion’ Kwak Sang-do summons investigation… Following Park Young-soo, the lobby investigation begins in earnest

Prosecutors, who are investigating the allegation of preferential treatment for the Daejang-dong development project, summoned former lawmaker Kwak Sang-do on the 27th.

According to the legal community on that day, the investigation team (team leader Kim Tae-hoon) in charge of the Seoul Central Prosecutor’s Office’s allegations of Daejang-dong summoned former lawmaker Kwak around 10 am and started an investigation.

Former lawmaker Kwak is accused of receiving bribes in exchange for favoring Hwacheon Daeyu’s business.

Prosecutors are investigating the situation in which Manbae Kim, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daewoo, helped overcome the situation that could have resulted in the collapse of the Hana Bank consortium through former lawmaker Kwak. It is reported that Byeong-chae is suspected of receiving 5 billion won from Hwacheon Daeyu in the name of severance pay and consolation money.

The prosecution conducted a search and seizure of the residence of Byeong-chae on the 1st of last month, followed by a search and seizure of the residence of former lawmaker Kwak on the 17th and analyzed the confiscated material.

The prosecution is speeding up the investigation into the so-called ‘5 billion club’. The previous day, former special prosecutor Park Young-soo was summoned to investigate. He previously worked as an advisor at Hwacheon Daeyu.

‘5 Billion Club’ came to the surface last month at a parliamentary audit by the National Assembly’s Political Affairs Committee, when Park Soo-young, a member of the People’s Power, revealed the list, saying, “According to multiple reports, the names of six people who agreed to give 5 billion won each in conversation with Kim Man-bae, Yoo Dong-gyu, and Jeong Young-dae.” .

At that time, former special prosecutor Park made a statement and said, “I never promised or received 5 billion won from Mr. We express our deep regret that the announcement was made at the State Auditor’s Office by using the immunity of the government as a shield.”
