The case of Lee Jong-won, operator of Sisa Tapa TV, who is suspected of inducing false responses in the public opinion poll for the national convention, has been assigned to the Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, signaling an intense investigation.
This case has been assigned to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Public Crime Investigation Unit, meaning the investigation will be conducted directly by a higher authority, not a general police station.
Therefore, it is argued that this should be viewed as an already confirmed crime, not just an allegation.
These statements are considered the most crucial content, essentially Lee Jong-won's confession of his own crime. Lee himself stated that it was impossible to come in first place in the general public opinion poll through a first-come, first-served election, emphasizing the importance of the 30% public opinion poll.
It was mentioned that Lee Jong-won will now leave his home turf, Mapo Police Station, and experience something entirely new.
This rank difference is expected to influence the status and intensity of the investigation.
This statement is interpreted as suggesting that he played a key role in the process of manipulating public opinion.
Criticism was raised that despite repeated irregularities in past elections, no proper action was taken. However, in Lee Jong-won's current case, there is a consensus that a strong investigation and verification are necessary, as he himself has admitted to the crime. The host emphasized that Lee admitted to his actions.
They strongly criticized Sisa Tapa's Lee Jong-won for inducing people to falsify their region and age. They also raised questions about the abnormal voting results for candidates Lee Seong-yoon and Park Sun-won, demanding a thorough investigation.
The speaker at the press conference criticized Mapo Police Station for allegedly failing to properly investigate numerous cybercrime complaints related to Sisa Tapa's Lee Jong-won and for appearing to suppress cases. Therefore, they explained that a complaint was filed directly with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency for a fair and objective investigation.
With the Democratic Party officially reporting Lee Jong-won's case, it has transitioned from individual complaints by some members to a party-level response. The host mentioned that while some media outlets had reported on the complaint before the DP's official filing, expectations for a full-scale investigation are now rising with the case's assignment to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Public Crime Investigation Unit.
The unjustness of indiscriminate seizures in the past, under the pretext of defamation cases, was pointed out, and an instance where even an on-site investigator expressed embarrassment was mentioned. The host criticized whether it was appropriate to request a search and seizure warrant for a defamation case. However, in Lee Jong-won's current case, as the evidence is clear, there is an expectation that it will be a good opportunity for the police to properly demonstrate their investigative capabilities.
