On the 12th, the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office's Criminal Division 6 (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-nam) conducted a second investigation against Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is suspected of sending money to North Korea

"We are investigating hundreds of people hundreds of times, but there is no evidence because the prosecution's allegations are not true," Lee said at the photo line when he arrived in front of the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office building at around 1:23 p.m. The investigation into Lee reportedly lasted 3:28 p.m. and ended in about an hour and 50 minutes.

In this case, Kim Sung-tae, former chairman of Ssangbangwool Group, is suspected of sending a total of $8 million to North Korea, including $5 million in support for the creation of a North Korean smart farm that Gyeonggi Province should send at the request of Lee Hwa-young, a former deputy governor for peace in Gyeonggi Province, and $3 million for the governor's visit to North Korea demanded by the North.

The prosecution believes that CEO Lee is related to the double bubble loan. The suspect was investigated by applying third-party bribery charges.
