An informant that raised suspicions about a Democratic Party candidate has been found dead.
On the 11th, informant 'A' was found dead at a motel in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul around 8:40pm after his family reported him missing on the 8th. No suicide note was found and cause of death is "unknown."
According to his family, there are no suspicions of a murder currently however they will be conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Police have also launched an investigation into his death.
Meanwhile, A raised suspicions that Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung gave bribes of 300 million won in cash and 2 billion won in S company stock that could be sold 3 years later, as "attorney fees" to Attorney Lee Tae-hyung, who served as his defense attorney when he was under trial for violating the Public Official Election Act as governor of Gyeonggi Province.
Lee Jae-myung has been a Democratic Party member for almost 20 years when informant Lee reported the suspicions to 'Gaseyeon.' On October 7, last year, Gaseyeon filed a complaint with the prosecution, claiming that Lee Jae-myung had falsely disclosed details of his attorney fee payments.
The next day, Lee Jae-myung responded with a counter-accusation alleging defamation for spread of false information. The Democratic Party also submitted a petition to the Suwon District Prosecutor's Office asking to arrest informant A. The case is currently under investigation.

Didn't prosecution say he died because he got scared over investigations? Are we just going to sit back and keep hoping for prosecution reform? Did he really commit suicide? Are we sure they didn't take advantage of his weakness to kill him or push him to commit suicide? He hasn't even gone through investigations yet but he got scared of coercive investigations? How long are we going to sit back and let this thug keep gaining support?
