On the 30th, Yoo Dong-gyu, former acting president of the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, targeted Lee Jae-myung, representative of the Democratic Party, and said, “It is a pity that the representative of the public party uses his power to move everything . responsibility to a powerless individual who once even helped him.” .
Yoo’s lawyer met with reporters after the Daejang-dong case trial held at the Seoul Central District Court that day and made the announcement.
The lawyer said, “If you had helped in a tremendous business like Daejang-dong and decided to have a stake in the former acting person, common sense would have made a lesser device for the stake, like writing a contract, but there. There is no security device here.” This is because I thought the stake belonged to CEO Lee, so no one could touch it.”
At the same time, he emphasized, “Former deputy representative Yoo will continue to speak and testify based on facts with a conciliatory heart,” and “I am determined to take legal responsibility.”
Yoo, who watched the lawyer’s remarks that day, left the court after saying, “I will tell you later,” without answering the reporters’ question, “CEO Lee is speaking as if he had not received any reports. What do you think?”
Attorney Min-Yong Jeong, formerly head of the Strategic Business Department of the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, attended the trial in Daejang-dong on the 27th and said, “At the time (for the brothers), CEO Lee is also understood its content. This was because (former deputy Yoo) talked about (along with) the presidential election fund when talking about Cheonhwa Dongin No. 1.”
Cheonhwa Dongin No. 1 earned 120.8 billion won, the largest amount as a single corporation among private businesses that received dividends of 405.4 billion won through the Daejang-dong project. Attorney Nam Wook, the owner of Cheonhwa Dongin No. 4, also said in court in November last year, “I heard from Kim Man-bae, the main shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu Asset Management, that I know that Cheonhwa Dongin No. Lee Jae-myeong was the owner of 1.”
However, in a statement submitted to the prosecution on the 28th, CEO Lee said, “In the transcript of Jeong Young-hak, a person who played a secondary role as Min-yong Jeong received 10 billion won, and Man-bae Kim, a junior at the university, who took care of Hwacheon Daeyu’s business, received 12 billion won Is it common knowledge that Mr. Yoo, who played a bigger role than them, has no benefit at all?
CEO Lee said, “I don’t know if former deputy manager Yoo colluded with the Daejang-dong gang to provide confidential information, but former deputy manager Yoo is committing a criminal act, and there is no reason or need to give know me, the mayor. , from that fact.” He defined all illegal acts as criminal acts of former deputy director Yoo and drew a line between him and himself.
