특검 "김경수 경남지사 조사 마무리 못해…조만간 재소환"
Kim Kyung-soo... just got out of a grueling grilling session over his alleged link to an online-opinion rigging scandal.
The team of special prosecutors investigating the 'Druking' case isn't done yet.
According to our Kim Mok-yeon, they plan to re-summon the Gyeongsangnam-do governor for another round of questioning.
The special counsel team of prosecutors looking into the online opinion rigging scandal announced on Tuesday that they will re-summon Gyeongsangnam-do governor Kim Kyung-soo for a second round of questioning for his alleged involvement in the case.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday afternoon, Park Sang-yoong , the spokesperson for the special counsel team announced the decision saying that they are in the process of setting the detailed schedule with governor Kim's attorney.
When asked about whether they are considering requesting an arrest warrant against Kim, the spokesman said that now is not the time to consider such options, adding that much more investigating needs to be done first.
Earlier in the day, team of special prosecutors finished their 15-hour questioning of governor Kim Kyung-soo.
As he returned home early Tuesday morning, Governor Kim said that he didn't believe prosecutors had significant evidence against him.
The special counsel investigating the case suspects Kim colluded with an influential blogger nicknamed Druking, who rigged online political comments in favor of the now-ruling Democratic Party.
They suspect Kim received regular briefings on the rigging activities after attending a presentation in 2016,... where the blogger showcased his data manipulation software called "King Crab", which can automatically increase the number of "likes" on online comments.
The governor is said to have fully denied wrongdoing, including attending the software demonstration and being aware of the illegal rigging activities,... though he admitted to visiting the blogger's office several times.
Kim also shot down accusations he'd offered a government position to one of Druking's associates in return for the blogger's support during the recent local elections.
