It has been confirmed that the prosecution has indicted Bae So-hyeon, a former Grade 5 public official at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office, and judged that “Bae has been handling various private affairs under Mr. Kim’s instructions.” Bae is a key figure in the suspicion of personal misuse of Gyeonggi-do corporate cards by Kim Hye-kyung, spouse of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.

According to the indictment submitted by the Ministry of Justice on the 16th by Jeon Joo-hye, the Office of the People’s Power, the prosecution said, “According to Mr. Kim Hye-kyung’s instructions, the prosecution manages and supports private areas such as providing meals for her family, visiting hospitals, and adjusting meeting schedules. It played a role,” he said.

In January, when the presidential race was in full swing, when suspicions of Kim Hye-kyung’s corporate card misappropriation and illegal protocol surfaced, Bae So-hyun said, “I was hired as an external cooperation officer in Gyeonggi-do, and there was no fact that I was hired as an assistant secretary.” He denied the allegations, saying, “I have not dealt with any private affairs for my family.” Prosecutors judged Bae’s allegation to be false.

Prosecutors also said that Bae delivered to Kim the hormone pills he had received from an employee of the Gyeonggi Provincial Office’s secretariat, who was the informant of the case. In addition, the indictment also included in the indictment an act of donating 78,000 won worth of meals to three Democratic Party officials using a Gyeonggi corporate card at the direction of Mr. Kim in August of last year.

Earlier, the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office of Public Investigation (Director Jeong Won-doo) indicted Bae on the 8th, one day before the statute of limitations of the Election Act, for publishing false information and making donations under the Public Official Election Act. Prosecutors prosecuted Bae first and suspended the statute of limitations for Kim Hye-kyung, an accomplice. After that, we plan to determine whether or not to indict Kim after further investigation.

On the 7th, Kim’s side denied the allegations, saying, “I have never used or seen a corporate card, and I didn’t know that I bought (food) with a corporate card.”
