Lee Myung Bak Group, Kingpin of Scandals and Bandit of Thieves
Pyongyang, July 31 (KCNA) -- Scandals of traitor Lee Myung Bak and his families and relatives and confidants have been disclosed one after another, sparking off big furor in south Korea.

As already exposed, Lee Myung Bak amassed and concealed staggering 800 billion won by running the whole gamut of scandals including the BBK stock price fabrication case, the Naegokdong housing lot purchase case.

Lee Sang Duk, elder brother of the "president", has been hell-bent on frauds and swindles, exercising the strongest power of the present regime as he is called "man of supreme power", "senior minister" and "the brother who clears every paper." Not only Lee Sang Duk but other members of traitor Lee Myung Bak's family are thieves.

When a restaurant which his wife had operated in the U.S. with investment of billions of won went bankrupt, Lee kept it afloat by paying money out of budget of the present "government."

Cousins of Lee's wife were involved in the case of Pusan Savings Bank, stunning south Koreans. They received billions of won from the managing director of the Seoul Bus Transport Trade Unions with the promise to help him become a member of the "National Assembly". The traitor's senior brother-in-law illegally expropriated hundreds of millions of won in just three years.

Like master, like man. His grandchildren by his daughter have also been greatly influenced by Lee and his clan's money-making. So, they are reported to have amassed hundreds of millions of won. Lee's family members and relatives have committed too many scams to cite. They included his son-in-law's stock price fabrication case and the slush fund case of parents of his daughter-in-law.

It was disclosed shortly ago that Kim Hui Jung, chief of the first room attached to Chongwadae who is the closest confidant of Lee Myung Bak, received hundreds of millions of won from savings banks.

Among those who were put in custody or stood trials so far on charges of involvement in scandals were Lee Sang Duk, Pak Hui Thae, former speaker of the "National Assembly", Choe Si Jung, former chairman of the Broadcasting and Communication Committee, Ri Yong Ho, former chief secretary of Chongwadae, Pak Yong Jun, former vice-minister of Knowledge-based Economy, and others and at least 40 persons on the side of Lee Myung Bak and his wife's side.

The "Saenuri Party" is a hotbed and kingpin of scams as it has zealously patronized and fostered such misdeeds of the present regime which was installed on the roots of Lee.

There is no way out for Lee as he has so craftily fleeced the south Koreans and the group of the "Saenuri Party" can never escape the same lot as his.
