Prosecutors, who are investigating allegations that money was sprayed at last year's Democratic National Convention, have summoned former standing auditor of the Korea Water Resources Corporation Kang Rae-gu, who was singled out for financing, to investigate.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 2 (Chief Prosecutor Kim Yong-chul) today (25th) summoned former auditor Kang Rae-gu, who is accused of violating the Political Parties Act and accepting bribes, as a suspect to investigate.

It is the first subpoena investigation since the arrest warrant sought by prosecutors against Kang on Jan. 21 was dismissed by the court, and the third following investigations on Jan. 16 and 19.

During the 3 MDP National Convention, Kang is accused of conspiring with Assemblyman Yoon Kwan-seok and former MDP Vice Secretary General Lee Jeong-geun to instruct and solicit the provision of money and valuables to electors and others, including distributing a total of 2021 million won to elect former representative Song Young-gil at the convention.

In September 9, he was accused of accepting 400 million won from businessman Park Mo through former Vice President Lee Jeong-geun in the name of soliciting the delivery of power plant facilities under the Korea Water Resources Corporation.

Prosecutors sought the warrant on Jan. 2020, saying there were concerns about destroying evidence, such as matching words between accomplices and attempting to appease.

Kang has denied all the allegations brought by the prosecution, and the court dismissed the arrest warrant, saying "it is difficult to see that there is any reason to arrest the suspect at this stage."

Prosecutors see a key role in the transfer of illegal political funds to incumbents, and they will focus on reclaiming arrest warrants through investigations into the donors and forwarders of the funds.
