Former presidential aide to be summoned this week over corruption scandal
ByPublished : Sept. 19, 2011 - 13:16
SEOUL, Sept. 19 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors said Monday they plan to summon a former senior presidential aide this week on suspicions of receiving money in a corruption scandal involving a suspended savings bank.
The Supreme Prosecutors' Office is scheduled to call Kim Du-woo, the former senior presidential secretary for public affairs, early Wednesday to quiz him over allegations that he received about 100 million won (US$89,405) from a key lobbyist who bribed a handful of government officials and politicians to help Busan Savings Bank, a top market player, avoid suspension of operations.
Kim submitted his resignation last week after prosecutors called for his questioning. Kim has denied the allegations against him.
Park Tae-kyu, the lobbyist, was arrested late last month on charges of receiving more than 1 billion won from the troubled bank, which was eventually suspended due to inadequate liquidity.
