(5)As far as I know, this is the first prosecution since Dangun. – Kim Jin-woo, ESID’s lawyer
(6)The first hearing was held on the 23rd on Kim Jin-woo, the brother-in-law of President Yoon Suk Yeol, and ESID CEO of ESID, who were indicted on charges of forgery and event of private documents and obstruction of hierarchical official execution related to the suspicion of preferential treatment for the development of Yangpyeong Gongheung District
(7)At the hearing held by Judge Park Jong-hyun at the Suwon District Court Yeoju Jiwon Criminal Chamber 1, Kim’s lawyer strongly argued that the charge of obstructing the execution of hierarchical public affairs could not be regarded as obstruction of the execution of public affairs by hierarchies, especially if the official in charge of Yangpyeong County failed to fulfill his duty to confirm under the relevant laws and regulations
(8)In July, the Yeoju branch of the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office indicted them on charges of forgery and exercise of private documents, judging that five officials of the project implementer, including CEO Kim, forged the confirmation of soil transportation and the confirmation of soil import in order to reduce the development burden by increasing the transportation distance of soil during the Yangpyeong Gongheung district project
(9)In addition, the prosecution judged that it interfered with the legitimate execution of its duties by submitting a report on the calculation of development costs based on these forged confirmations to Yangpyeong-gun, and applied charges such as obstruction of hierarchical official execution to them

Immediately after the trial, CEO Kim left the court silent on reporters’ questions such as whether he did not know about the forgery or whether there was any conspiracy

(14)At the trial, CEO Kim Jin-woo’s lawyer denied that these charges were objectively false
(15)He said he was not doing it, but strongly protested, stating that the charges themselves were not established or that there was a significant legal problem
(1)First of all, CEO Kim’s lawyer stressed that both the confirmation of soil transportation and the confirmation of soil importation were written using the seal that had been comprehensively entrusted and stored by Hanshin Corporation for forgery and exercise of private documents, and it cannot be said that they were forged In addition, the lawyer argued that the actual cost of transporting the soil was much higher, and that the details of the soil treatment submitted to Yangpyeong-gun were disadvantageous than the actual scope of CEO Kim’s perception, and there was no reason to forge the documentsimage text translation
(2)It is a fundamentally different position from the results of the prosecution’s investigation that the deputy director of the civil engineering company A in Yangpyeong Gongheung District falsified the images of related companies by using a drawing board program
(3)Representative Kim’s lawyer also said, “Based on the results of the police investigation, we judged that there was no charge,” and continued his remarks, saying, “False submission of a statement of calculation of development costs is subject to fines.” It cannot be punished according to the law.”
(4)I think it’s the first time since Dangun has indicted this separately for obstruction of hierarchical execution That’s how much of a legal problem there is
(5)At the hearing, the representative of the development cost calculation company and the employee’s lawyer, who were indicted along with CEO Kim, expressed a similar position
(6)These lawyers argued that the cost of transporting soil should be objectively confirmed by the tax invoice, but if there is no tax invoice like this case, the official in charge is required to conduct on-site investigation and check whether the actual soil is taken out or not, but the procedure was not carried out, adding that it is not legally a crime for the defendants
(7)It is expected that there will be a fierce court battle in the future, arguing over the list of evidence for a while

(11)At the trial, the prosecution and representative Kim Jin-woo’s lawyers engaged in a kind of war of nerves over the size of the list of evidence submitted to the court, signaling a fierce court battle in the future
(12)Representative Kim said that it is difficult to agree or disagree with the list of evidence as it includes records of investigations into public officials related to the case. A trial is also underway against officials in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, on charges of writing false official documents related to the suspicion of preferential treatment in the Yangpyeong Gongheung district Representative Kim emphasized that the list of evidence submitted by the prosecution was not directly related to the prosecution, saying that the record of the case was vast
(13)The prosecution responded strongly by stating that the prosecutors who attended the court were all evidence related to the accused’s motives or did not arbitrarily put irrelevant evidence After a series of verbal wrangling between the two sides for a while, the court arbitrated that the two sides should make concessions so that the process would not be delayed too much over whether to agree to the list of evidence
(14)The courtroom audience was so enthusiastic that it was hard to find an empty seat with reporters Kim, who appeared for the first time in more than four months after the indictment, got on the car and left the court, staying silent to reporters asking whether he did not know about the forgery or whether there was a conspiracy
It’s the first time the president’s mother-in-law has been arrested since Dangun
