Yoo Seung-min, a member of the People Power Party, emphasized on October 16 that he has "never committed any crime of obstructing business" in relation to the allegations surrounding the preferential hiring of his daughter, Yoo Dam, as a professor.
In a Facebook post, Yoo stated, "The police investigation and the audit by the Board of Audit and Inspection are politically motivated actions aimed at humiliating and suppressing me."
He added, "The police and the audit agency are trying to fabricate a nonexistent crime against me," and expressed his determination to reveal the truth and prove his innocence during the prosecution and trial process.
Yoo also directed criticism at the administration of Lee Jae-myung, warning, "No matter how much they use the police as tools for political repression, they cannot create a crime that does not exist," and cautioned that political investigations will ultimately backfire on them.
In related developments, Kim Woong, a close aide to Yoo, revealed on Facebook that the first question posed by police during their investigation was whether Yoo planned to run in the local elections. He criticized this question as indicative of the investigation's true nature.
Meanwhile, the Incheon Police Agency's Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime Investigation Unit has filed charges against Yoo and three others, including the president of Incheon University, without detention. However, no charges were filed against Yoo's daughter as the allegations related to her were not substantiated.
