, ‘The prosecution indicted Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 12th on charges related to the dual ownership group’s transfer to North Korea. It’s only been about a week since Lee Hwa-young, former vice governor of Gyeonggi Province, was sentenced to 9 years and 6 months in prison on May 7 for charges of transfer to North Korea and accepting bribery at the Suwon District Court.’,
,
, ‘The prosecution believes that during Lee’s tenure as governor of Gyeonggi Province in 2019, he received reports and approval of the dual ownership’s transfer to North Korea through the former vice governor Lee. The charge against Lee is third-party bribery. Earlier, the court judged in the trial of the former vice governor that “the money sent by the dual ownership to North Korea is considered as Lee Jae-myung’s case traveling expenses.” ‘,

, ‘The former vice governor was indicted for involvement in the process of Kim Sung-tae, former chairman of the dual ownership, delivering the smart farm project cost promised by Gyeonggi Province to North Korea ($5 million) and the travel expenses of Lee Jae-myung, who was governor at the time ($3 million), to North Korea on their behalf.’,
