At this time, several witnesses regarding the ongoing Burning Sun scandal have appeared and gave statements that are very different from the police investigation records.
Seungri's trial for his alleged involvement in the Burning Sun scandal continues to change and develop even 3 years later. At this time, several witnesses have appeared and made statements that are very different from the police investigation records. Witnesses who attended the 13th trial of the Seungri case on March 25 testified that they basically had no special relationship with Seungri.
Ms C, who was a witness related to the prostitution mediation charge, gave testimony about sexual favors provided to a group of Japanese investors that took place around 24 December 2015. She also revealed shocking things about the different testimonies given by the police.
"I got a part-time job (prostitution) offer from an older woman I met that morning and I went to a hotel. I had absolutely no idea (that the man) was related to Seungri. I didn't know my client was Japanese, and I didn't. no gender. Nobody mentioned Seungri at that time, "said Ms. C.
After receiving the same offer, he and Seungri's group attended a restaurant in Gangnam the next morning. Ms. C said, "There were a lot of people at the scene, and I don't know who it was. I went with a guy after a drinking party, but I don't remember seeing the man in the restaurant."
Ms. C also revised the contents of the police interrogation notes. The previous statement read, "After leaving the restaurant, I was in Seungri's car for a bit." Ms C recently corrected, "I never said it was Seungri's car, I don't even know if it was Seungri's car. The police said, 'It's Seungri's car,' and they seem to write something like that."
Regarding the man she went with, Ms. C clarified her statement. He stated, "I just said that there was one person among many people, and that he was a man who showed up at the restaurant, but because Seungri was there too, the police wrote him down as 'Defendant Group'." When asked if Seungri said anything to him directly at the scene, he stated that he never spoke to her. He is not the first witness to say his statement was changed.
To this end, Seungri's lawyer stated, "Many witnesses consistently said that the police examination records were different from their actual statements. During the investigation, a discussion about adjusting the investigative rights of the Procuratorate and the Police was held."
"The National Assembly and the Blue House have to thoroughly investigate the Burning Sun case and convict him, so the police have a result, but in reality, the arrest warrant against Seungri was rejected twice. The police need to get results, and that seems to be why there was more pressure during the investigation. than necessary and excessive accusations / charges have been charged. "
"We have several witnesses, but is this a situation where they could all lie? There seems to be reason for me to tell the courtroom that the police examination records are different from the actual statements. I want you to look at them on this."
The court agreed with the attorney's argument to some extent, while also arguing that, "There may be coercion or pressure (in the police investigation process), but it is necessary for the courtroom to confirm the reversal of a statement made to suit conscience." (wk / chus)
