Relevant court statements… Yoon Young-chan’s office refutes “unfounded”
Lawyer Nam Wook (pictured), a key figure in the corruption allegations of the Daejang-dong development project, mentioned former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon in court. It is said that he heard that accountant Jung Young-hak, the owner of Cheonhwa-dong No. 5, who made the ‘Chung Young-hak transcript’, handed over Daejang-dong-related materials to former representative Lee’s Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Young-chan during the last presidential election. Rep. Yoon refuted that it was groundless.
At the Daejang-dong trial held on the 5th at the hearing of the 22nd Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court (Judge Lee Joon-cheol), ‘Kim Man-bae and Jeong Young-hak fought around November 2019, and I heard that Jeong Young-hak had a big fight with Kim Man-bae through Lee Nak-yeon’s Rep. Yoon Young-chan’ Attorney Nam The prosecution’s statement was made public. Attorney Nam made this statement, saying that he left for the United States in September of last year because he did not want to get involved in a fight between accountant Jeong and Man-bae Kim, the major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu Asset Management.
Regarding this, Kim’s lawyer asked Sunnam’s lawyer as a witness, “What does it mean that Jung Young-hak fought through Lee Nak-yeon’s Rep. Yoon Young-chan?”
In response, Attorney Nam said, “It was related to Daejang-dong in the early days,” and “I heard that the part related to the 42.8 billion won, Cheonhwa-dong No. . When asked, ‘Who did you hear from?’ Attorney Nam replied, “I heard it from a reporter.” Attorney Kim’s repeated question, “Did the information conveyed by Accountant Jeong to Rep. Yoon include the actual owner of Cheonhwa Dongin No. 1?” Attorney Nam replied, “I heard that.”
Representative Lee Jae-myung and former CEO Nak-yeon Lee faced each other in the 20th presidential election last year, and at that time, former CEO Lee’s side launched an offensive of suspicion in Daejang-dong. Representative Lee was suspected of being the actual owner of Cheonhwa Dongin No. 1, and former CEO Lee made high-level remarks, such as claiming that he had received a tip to prove Lee’s involvement. In the political world, there were also suspicions that Lee’s side was involved in the disclosure process of accountant Jeong.
Congressman Yoon’s office took a position and said, “The statements made by lawyer Nam are not true at all.” Representative Yoon’s office said, “Rep. Yoon has never had a one-on-one meeting with accountant Jeong, and he has not received any transcripts or materials that lawyer Nam has heard from the reporter.” He continued, “There have been inquiries from journalists with similar content since the last presidential election, and Congressman Young-chan Yoon and the office of the lawmaker have consistently stated that they are groundless.”
