The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs decided to conduct an audit on suspicions raised that Kim Won-woong, chairman of the National Liberation Movement, who had run a cafe in the National Assembly to provide scholarships to children of national merit, used the profits for personal purposes.
The Ministry of Veterans Affairs and Veterans Affairs announced on the 26th, “We will conduct an audit to find out the facts of the related reports.
Earlier, a general programming channel reported that the previous day, citing former executive A of the Liberation Party, there was a suspicion that Chairman Kim used 45 million won from the cafe’s operating profit over the past year for personal purposes, such as purchasing clothes or using a barber shop.
On the same day, the civic group, the Bar Exam Preparation Students’ Association, filed a complaint with the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency for embezzlement in the course of business, including Chairman Kim and former Liberation Party executive Mr. A.
Since May 2020, the Liberation Society has been operating a cafe in the National Assembly as a profit business, saying that it will give scholarships to children of national merit.
Yonhap News asked the Liberation Association and Chairman Kim for their position on related reports and the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, but did not receive an answer.
