Jeonbuk Provincial Police Agency said on the 19th that it is investigating Kimje Mayor Jeong Seong-ju over suspected bribery. Jeong is accused of receiving money and valuables worth tens of millions of won on several occasions from an enterprise several years ago.
Recently, police received a petition stating that "Mr. A received money and valuables from an enterprise and handed them to Mayor Jeong," and the police reportedly summoned Mr. A for questioning to verify the facts.
Regarding this, Jeong's side said, "We do not yet know the exact details. The allegation of receiving money and valuables is groundless."
A police official said, "It is difficult to confirm any details related to this."
