[속보] 종합특검, ‘관저 이전 의혹’ 김건희·윤한홍 기소

The Comprehensive Special Investigation Team has indicted former presidential aide Kim Geun-hee and lawmaker Yoon Han-hong on suspicion of violating rules regarding President Jeong's relocation, as well as suspected corruption involving a related construction company. The investigation team stated that they had charged Kim and Yoon with applying improper authority and violating specific criminal statutes.

The team also indicted the representative of the construction firm, 21그램, and his wife for violating the procurement of state funds. The team's findings reveal that the office space President Jeong transferred to 21그램 was designated by a military general, despite the team's assessment that the relocation was inappropriate. The investigation further uncovered that Kim, Yoon, former defense minister Kim, and 21그램's representative all visited the foreign ministry in the days leading up to the relocation, and that they were instructed by Kim and Yoon to change the company name to 21그램.

The investigation also revealed that Yoon's office requested details from the foreign ministry regarding a diplomatic official's budget and activities in May 2022, and that Yoon visited the relocation site to inspect progress shortly after. The investigation team also found that 21그램's representatives attended a meeting where the construction company sought to increase project costs, and that Kim's wife purchased designer clothing from Chanel and delivered it to President Jeong's residence in Seoul's Suyeong-dong.

The investigation team believes that the controversial "divide and conquer" contract, which allegedly facilitated the construction work and payments to 21그램, is outside the scope of their investigation and will be handed over to the National Investigation Bureau for further review.
