Dong-gyu Yoo, the former head of Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, a key figure in the suspicion of preferential treatment for Daejang-dong development, was eventually arrested. When former general manager Yoo met with our reporters last week, he strongly insisted that he was not the designer of the Daejang-dong project and had never received anything in return, but the court issued an arrest warrant.
To find out what kind of crime the prosecution specifically applied, let’s look at the report of Won Jong-jin and continue the story.
The Seoul Central District Court, which reviewed the arrest warrant for former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu, issued a warrant last night (3rd).
He explained the reason for issuing the warrant, saying, “I am concerned about the destruction of evidence and the escape.”
It seems that the fact that former general manager Yoo threw away his cell phone and did not immediately respond to the prosecution’s first summons request was taken into account.
Above all, it can be seen that the court’s judgment that the allegations of former general manager Yoo have been substantiated to some extent.
There are two main charges against former general director Yoo listed by the prosecution.
In the process of designing the Daejang-dong development project, he is accused of negligence in the business of causing damage to Seongnam Urban Development Corporation by allowing Hwacheon Daeyu, a private operator, a huge profit, and receiving money and valuables from private operators in return for the convenience of the project.
Prosecutors are said to have specifically specified the amount, saying that they received 500 million won from Kim Man-bae, the owner of Hwacheon Daeyu, and 300 million won from Jeong Mo, another contractor who participated in the Wirye new town development project before the Daejang-dong development project.
During the warrant review process, it was reported that former general manager Yoo denied that there was no preference for the Daejang-dong development project and that he received 800 million won.
As former general manager Yoo was arrested, the prosecution is spurring to reveal what specifically he did in the stage of approval for the development project in Daejang-dong, what kind of money he passed through, and whether there was no additional money. looks like it will
It is also expected to speed up the investigation into the people involved in the suspicion of large-scale operation along with former general manager Yoo.

—
Reporter Won Jong-jin and former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu received about 1.1 billion won in bribes. Are they two different things?
Yes, it was revealed that former general manager Yoo received 1.18 billion won from a lawyer named Jeong Mo after he retired.
Attorney Jeong Jeong participated in the overall licensing review for the Daejang-dong project while serving at the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation.
And after retirement, he founded a company called Yuwon Holdings together with former general manager Yoo, who is doing business together.
However, the 800 million won allegation of bribery that the prosecution stated in the arrest warrant yesterday, this 800 million won is different from this 1.1 billion won.
Hwacheon Daeyu Kim Man-bae received 500 million won as bribes and another business owner, Jeong-mo, took 300 million won as bribes.
However, the prosecution is in the position that this 800 million won is clearly a bribe, and we will continue to investigate other allegations of money transactions.
I think the cell phone that former general manager Yoo Dong-gyu threw away will play an important role in future investigations. Is the prosecution secured now?
Former general manager Yoo met with our reporters the other day and said that he threw this cell phone away before the search and seizure, but it seems that the whereabouts of this cell phone are still unknown.
Prosecutors also said that when they saw the scene at the time of the search and seizure, there were no traces of the cell phone thrown away on the CCTV, such as the traces of the windows being opened.
Later, he said that former general manager Yoo entrusted this cell phone to the seller, but he did not say who the person was.
In other words, it seems to be a story that has not yet secured a mobile phone.
Now that the charge of taking a bribe from former general manager Yoo has been applied, will the investigation into the person who gave the money be conducted?
We contacted Kim Man-bae, who is known to have appeared on the arrest warrant request like this, saying, “I gave this money,” but he said that he had never paid 500 million won as a bribe.
And so far, I have never received a summons from the prosecution, I said.
However, as former general manager Yoo was arrested, there is a high possibility that the summons investigation for Kim will be carried out at the end of the day.
Mr. Kim’s side has also made this a standard fact and is expecting it to take place within this week.
Another business owner who gave the money, Mr. Jung, cut off contact with the outside world and does not appear today.
