A lawmaker from the main opposition party appeared before Busan prosecutors on Wednesday for questioning over allegations that he bribed his way into parliament.
Rep. Choi Dong-ik of the Democratic United Party (DUP) is suspected of giving a total of 70 million won ($62,389) to former DUP lawmaker Jang Hyang-sook over three different occasions between March and April of this year, prosecutors said.
The money was allegedly given in return for her help in securing a proportional representative ticket in April’s elections, they said.
Choi allegedly accompanied with another lawmaker hopeful surnamed Kang, they added.
Choi, the president of the Korea Differently Abled Federation, eventually won the election on the party’s proportional representation ticket.
Scores of prosecutors and investigators already have seized computer hard disks and other relevant materials from the homes and offices of Choi, Jang and Kang that could support the allegations. (Yonhap News)
