**”Deutsche, Menta-Gyun, Geonjin Raided; Discussing Evidence Destruction with ‘Necklace’, Is This Convincing?”**
Seoul = Newsis Reporter, Jo Seong-bong: Song Eon-seok, interim leader and floor leader of the People Power Party, expressed his position regarding the announcement of the liberation day special pardon list at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 11th.
Seoul = Newsis Reporters Kim Ji-hoon and Han Eun-jin: On the 13th, the People Power Party refrained from commenting on the arrest of former President Yoon Seok-yeol’s wife, Kim Keon-hee, stating “there’s nothing to say.”
Song Eon-seok, interim leader and floor leader, inquired about his stance regarding the unprecedented simultaneous arrest of a former presidential couple by asking during his interview on YTN Radio News Fighting, “I don’t think there is anything specific I can say,” and instead hoping “that the special prosecution would be conducted fairly, regularly, and justly according to the law and regulations.”
Yoo Sang-beom, deputy floor leader, also stated, “There are no comments to give” on Kim’s arrest, but he raised questions about the appropriateness of the arrest warrant issuance.
Deputy Floor Leader Yoo questioned, “Is it appropriate to claim a risk of evidence destruction unrelated to the main criminal facts?” He added, “There is significant concern over the judiciary possibly succumbing to pressure when a warrant for the drone commander was rejected, and Jung Cheong-rae, then a candidate for (party leader), criticized the judge and pressured the court, calling it a ‘coup alliance.'”
He further mentioned, “This warrant review seemed like a comedy. Discussing evidence destruction based not on the main crime facts but on a separate issue shows how much the rule of law is regressing. Is it convincing to suddenly talk about the destruction of evidence with a random necklace after searching for allegations like Deutsche Motors (stock manipulation), Menta-Gyun (nomination intervention), and Geonjin Bosal (lobbying request)?”
