Lee Jun-seok, representative of the Reformist Party, home searched

The Kim Geon-hee special investigation team (led by special prosecutor Min Jung-ki), which is investigating various allegations against Kim Geon-hee, has conducted a search and seizure at the residence of Lee Jun-seok, representative of the Reformist Party.

According to the legal community on the 28th, the special investigation team sent investigators to Lee's home in Sangye-dong, Nowon District, Seoul, to carry out the search and seizure in the morning.

It is also reported that the special investigation team has searched the office of this member of the National Assembly.

The special investigation team, which is looking into the "illegal intervention in nominations" involving former President Yoon Seok-yeol and his spouse, suspects that the couple received election survey results from political broker Myung Tae-kyun ahead of the presidential election, and influenced the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun in the June 2022 by-election.

At that time, Lee was the chairman of the People Power Party.

Meanwhile, the special investigation team summoned Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, as a suspect the day before and questioned him for about 14 hours. Yoon was the head of the party's nomination management committee at that time.
