Prosecutors refute Lee Hwa-young's alleged drinking... "A lawyer is also present."

Lee Hwa-young, former governor of Gyeonggi-do Province Peace, refuted the allegations of conciliation of alcohol in the second trial yesterday (31st), saying the prosecution will find out if it asks the lawyer at the time.

In a statement sent to the press corps today (1st), the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office said that there was also a lawyer identified by his surname Seo and a lawyer identified by his surname Seol when the cross-examination of former lieutenant governor Lee and former chairman of Ssangbangwool Group was conducted on May 29 last year.

At the same time, he explained that the drinking time claimed by the former lieutenant governor was when lawyer Seol was present, who told YTN that he had never seen salmon sashimi or alcohol.

Earlier, the former lieutenant governor Lee claimed in a final hearing held at the Suwon High Court yesterday (31st) that there was a record of a payment of a double bubble corporate card at a salmon restaurant near the prosecution office on May 29 last year.
