Police transfer opposition leader Lee's alleged third-party bribery case to prosecution

SUWON, South Korea, Sept. 13 (Yonhap) -- Police wrapped up their reinvestigation into allegations of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung's third-party bribery surrounding a corporate donation to a football club years ago and transferred the case to the prosecution with an opinion of indictment Tuesday.

The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency reinvestigated the allegations that the city of Seongnam, just south of Seoul, had attracted hefty donations from companies to a municipal football club in the mid-2010s, when the chairman of the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) was serving as its mayor...

...Following an initial investigation into the case, however, the Bundang Police Station decided in September last year to clear Lee of third-party bribery charges regarding all six donors and Seongnam FC because of what it said was a lack of evidence.

Medieval revenge political prosecutions by the new Yoon Seok-yeol administration in Seoul Korea, against political rivals and critics continues. Meanwhile the South Korean National Assembly appears paralyzed while all police powers have been transferred unlawfully to Ministry of Interior and Public Safety by decree. So the headline should be Yoon's clique of ex-prosecutors orders police to forward case to Yoon clique prosecutors. Lee, was the democratic candidate who ran against Yoon in the last presidential election, and was recently elected party leader by the democratic party by an overwhelming margin. If he is convicted or jailed, the domestic political situation will become even more unstable than it is now. Yoon's credibility now is lower than that of Park Geun-hye when she was impeached.
