According to him, all these allegations are fabricated for political reasons, but he would prove his innocence.
The nation’s biggest newspaper Chosun Ilbo explained that the evidence found by Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Joint Financial and Securities Crime Investigation Team was a message-based conversation between Kwon and an unnamed Terraform employee.
An official at the prosecutor’s office said:
I cannot reveal the details, but this was a conversation whereby CEO Kwon specifically ordered the manipulation of prices.
