In addition, the prosecution, which is investigating the suspicion of money envelopes (illegal political funds) at the Democratic Party convention, requested an arrest warrant for Kang Rae-gu, a standing audit committee member of Korea Water Resources Corporation, who was pointed out as a means of raising funds. This is the first time the prosecution has requested an arrest warrant for this case.
The 2nd Anti-Corruption Investigation Division (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-cheol) of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office announced on the 19th that it had requested an arrest warrant for Kang on charges of violating the political party law and accepting bribes.
Member Kang is accused of distributing a total of 94 million won (violation of the political party law) in order to elect former CEO Song Young-gil at the party convention in March-May 2021 in collusion with Democratic Party officials. He is considered a key figure who ordered and recommended the provision of money and goods to Democratic Party lawmakers and officials, and prepared 80 million won out of 94 million won.
While serving as a standing auditor for Korea Water Resources Corporation in September 2020, Commissioner Kang is also accused of accepting 3 million won (bribery) from businessman Park Mo in the name of a solicitation for supply of power plant facilities under the corporation.
The prosecution called and investigated Commissioner Kang twice on the 16th and the same day. Prosecutors questioned the details of the funding, but Commissioner Kang is known to have denied most of the charges.
