People Power Party members of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly issued a statement today, saying, “Representative Lee’s attitude toward the lies of former Deputy Governor Lee, a criminal defendant, for obstruction of justice is becoming more and more serious,” adding, “He will continue his shameless incitement day and night until the results he wants are achieved.” “We are prepared to repeat it,” he claimed.
They criticized, “Representative Lee, who had been at the forefront of agitating public opinion, finally appeared at the Daejeon-dong trial yesterday and even made the absurd claim that ‘the prosecution is changing its story,’” adding, “When he was cornered, he seemed to have turned to a reckless strategy.”
At the same time, he claimed, “Their reckless behavior is a vicious obstruction of justice and a direct challenge to the constitutional order and judicial system of the Republic of Korea.”
Former Deputy Governor Lee, a close associate of Representative Lee, claimed in a recent trial that when he was being investigated for the Ssangbangwool remittance incident to North Korea, he was coaxed by the prosecutors into fabricating statements by eating salmon raw fish and drinking soju at the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office. It was made public and refuted as unfounded.
