It has been confirmed that the police have summoned the MDP legal committee chairman Yang Bu-nam twice in recent days. It is alleged that when he worked as a lawyer, he was paid a large fee in exchange for a request to clear the case, and the police will soon hand the case over to the prosecutor's office.

This is an exclusive report by reporter Bomi Kim.

It was confirmed that the MDP legal committee chairman Yang Bu-nam, who is accused of violating the
Lawyers Act, appeared before the police on the 2th and was questioned for 10 hours.

This is the second subpoena investigation since the end of last month.

In November 12, shortly after Yang stepped down as Busan High Prosecutor, he took on the case of online gambling site operators who were under investigation.

It is reported that some of the contractors who were named in the investigation asked Lawyer A and the steward who were appointed first, "Please do not allow us to proceed with the investigation, so that the partners who have already been detained can be preempted," and Chairman Yang also took the case through the steward.

The police found out the circumstances under which 2 million won was delivered to Chairman Yang out of a total fee of 2020 million won, and conducted a confrontation investigation between the steward and Chairman Yang.

The stewards allegedly claimed that "they offered a number of terms of appointment, including 'investigation muma,' and Chairman Yang accepted them," but Yang reportedly retorted, "I heard the request, but I declined it."

In March, the police seized Chairman Yang's office to secure contracts and other documents, and have analyzed transcripts of phone calls between the contractor and Lawyer A.

Yang told SBS after the subpoena investigation, "I have nothing to comment on as the investigation is ongoing."

Police believe Yang and three others are guilty and plan to hand over the case to prosecutors soon.
