They disclosed the fact that Kim Yun Ok, wife of Lee, received a stupendous sum of reward from the president of the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Maritime Co., Ltd. last year.

The "Grand National Party", Chongwadae, the Ministry of Justice, etc. are now sheltering such corruption, talking about "baseless defamation", they charged.

They also pointed out that the prosecution authorities let Han Sang Ryul, ex-director of the Office of National Tax Administration, and other persons involved flee abroad in a bid to hush up the bigger scandal related to Kim while seeking to obliterate evidence.

This is a deliberate action aimed to quell the public opinion and criticism of the people, they contended.
