In the 21st presidential election, former candidate Kim Moon-soo of the People Power Party was referred to prosecutors on suspicion of violating the Public Official Election Act.
According to police on the 31st, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Public Crime Investigation Unit sent former candidate Kim without detention to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office the previous day after he was accused of handing out business cards to voters while he was a preliminary candidate.
Kim is suspected of campaigning by distributing his business cards to voters at GTX-A Suseo Station when he was a preliminary candidate. The Public Official Election Act prohibits preliminary candidates from handing out business cards inside the ticket gates of terminals, stations, and airports.
Earlier, the Democratic Party of Korea filed a complaint in May accusing Kim of violating the campaign period and of illegal campaigning under the Public Official Election Act.
