In a phone call with Yonhap News on the 2nd, Rep. Yoon said, "I plan to propose the 'Special Prosecutor Act for Mrs. Kim Jong-sook' tomorrow. In the morning, I will collect signatures from the lawmakers who will be co-sponsoring the bill."
The special prosecutor's investigation targets include allegations of abuse of power and embezzlement in relation to Kim's visit to India, allegations of use of special activity funds for clothing, allegations of swimming lessons for Blue House bodyguards, and a regular designer named Yang.
The investigation is said to cover all the various allegations that have been raised so far, including allegations of fraudulent hiring of administrative officials and allegations of quid pro quo financial transactions between Yang and his daughter Moon Da-hye.
The People's Power Party has previously investigated allegations of impropriety involving Kim's visit to the Taj Mahal in India.
The People's Power lawmaker has raised various suspicions about Kim's wife, but this is the first time that he has proposed a bill to have a special prosecutor investigate Kim Jong-sook. Rep. Yoon said he was joined by other members of the ruling party's floor leadership as co-sponsors.
Prior to this, People's Power floor leader Chu Kyung-ho said on the 24th of last month, "We will make the special investigation into Mrs. Kim public at the party level.
In response to a question from reporters asking whether he would proceed with the opening ceremony, he said, "Once the 22nd National Assembly begins, we will gather opinions within the party and seriously consider what the format will be. If we do open the National Assembly, we will try to gather the consensus of the lawmakers."
I made it.
