Lee Hwa-young, former vice governor of Gyeonggi Province, accused of “illegal remittances of Ssangbangwool to North Korea”, filed a complaint with the police on the 25th, requesting that the investigating prosecutor and Ssangbangwool employees be investigated in connection with the ‘homocide. suspicion of “flattery on the part of the prosecution”.
He is said to have violated the law by purchasing alcohol and snacks such as soju and bringing in prohibited items with the permission and connivance of the prosecutor. However, Kim Seong-tae, former president of Ssangbangwool Group, who was blamed for encouraging alcohol consumption, did not press charges.
On this day, Attorney Kim Gwang-min, former Vice Governor Lee’s lawyer, said: “Prosecutor A and Ssangbangwool employees in charge of investigating remittances to North Korea were accused of violating the ‘Article 133 (Introduction of Prohibited Goods) Paragraph 2 of the ‘Law on the Execution of Sentences and Treatment of Prisoners'” “I did it,” he said. In the complaint, Lawyer Kim stated: “The defendant, Ssangbangwool employee B, and Ssangbangwool employees whose names are unknown, received a request from Kim Seong-tae at the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office 1313 around 16:00-18:00 on Buddhist Memorial Day In May-June last year and with the permission or connivance of the investigating prosecutor, Mr. A. He said: “I bought soju and other alcoholic drinks and snacks from Buddhist temple and handed them over to Kim Seong-tae.” Lawyer Kim said: “The defendants introduced prohibited goods by supplying alcohol to detainees, including Kim Seong-tae, who were imprisoned in the Suwon Detention Center. This provided prisoners with unimaginable preferential treatment.”
With this accusation from former Deputy Governor Lee, the police are now investigating the accused’s suspicion of alcoholism.
The prosecution refuted former Gyeonggi Province vice governor Lee Hwa-young’s claim of ‘drinking and cajoling’ and published a prison guard’s travel diary. This time, they published photos of the ‘video recording room’ and the ‘warehouse’ where they drank and made provocations. The photo is of video recording room 1313. /Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office
Lawyer Kim issued a statement to the media and said, “We demand that the Suwon District Prosecutor’s Office, the suspect, is no longer involved in the alcohol scandal,” and added, “If you are sure that the ‘defendant Lee Hwa-young is lying, reveal the truth through an investigation into false accusations.” Lawyer Kim also said: “Defendant Lee Hwa-young has expressed his willingness to “accept the punishment of false accusations.” “if his statements were false.”
Even in the legal world there is talk that the “violation of the Execution of Punishments Act” advocated by former Lieutenant Governor Lee is an excessive interpretation of the law. The law provides punishment for bringing items such as alcohol into a “correctional facility,” but it is the “investigation room with video recording in Room 1313 of the Suwon District Attorney’s Office,” which former Deputy Governor Lee pointed to as a place where drinking parties were solicited, really considered a correctional institution? The question is: can you see it? According to this law, penitentiary institutions are defined as “prisons, detention centers and their branches”.
Meanwhile, former Lieutenant Governor Lee repeatedly raised suspicions about drinking parties and repeatedly reversed his claims regarding where and when he drank, whether he was drinking and whether prison guards were present. In response, the prosecution directly contradicts this by releasing materials such as military attendance records, video recordings of investigation room photos, and court transcripts. Regarding the suspicions raised by former Deputy Governor Lee, the prosecution stated: “he must be held responsible for the collapse of the nation’s criminal justice system by lowering public confidence in criminal justice with false facts and statements.”
