China News Service, September 22. According to Yonhap News Agency, Lee Jae-myung, leader of South Korea’s largest opposition Democratic Party, will undergo a review on the necessity of arrest on the 26th in connection with the dereliction of duty and bribery case. Whether he will be arrested will be known as soon as that day.
According to reports, the Seoul Central District Court finalized on the 22nd that it will review the necessity of arresting Lee Jae-myung at 10 a.m. on the 26th. It is predicted that if the review proceeds as scheduled, it will be known whether Li Zaiming will be arrested on the evening of the 26th or the early morning of the 27th.
According to reports, Lee Jae-myung has been on hunger strike for the 23rd consecutive day, and it is unclear whether he will appear in court for trial. Even if Lee Jae-myung is willing to appear in court for trial but requests the court to postpone the review due to poor health, the court may make a postponement decision after consulting the prosecutors.
In principle, the review of the necessity of arrest requires the suspect to appear in court for trial. If Li Zaiming gives up appearing in court, the court may conduct a review with only the defense lawyer present, or in writing.
Lee Jae-myung is suspected of using his position as mayor to provide various favors to private developers during the development of real estate on state-owned land that originally belonged to the Korea Food Research Institute from 2014 to 2015, resulting in the Seongnam Urban Development Corporation being excluded from the project Suffered a loss of 20 billion won (approximately RMB 110 million).
Lee Jae-myung is also suspected of soliciting a bribe of US$8 million from Kim Sung-tae, chairman of the Sangbong-il Group, from 2019 to 2020, through the former deputy governor in charge of peace affairs in Gyeonggi Province, in order to pay for the visit to North Korea.
