前众议员金南国在最终听证会上哭泣并表示不认罪

检察官要求对韩国民主党前议员金南国 (Kim Nam-guk) 判处 6 个月监禁，他被指控隐匿近 10 项秘密。

Former Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Kim Nam-guk, who was indicted for hiding nearly 10 billion won ($7.8 million) in virtual currency (coins) and falsely reporting his assets to the National Assembly, faced prosecutors' demand for a six-month prison term at his final hearing on Friday.

韩国前民主党议员金南国因隐藏近 100 亿韩元（780 万美元）的虚拟货币（硬币）并向国会谎报其资产而被起诉，检察官要求判处六个月监禁在周五的最后一次听证会上。

Kim was accused of transferring some of the coin deposits to a bank account to match the total amount of his assets and changing the rest of the deposits into coins to hinder the review of the changes in the assets of the National Assembly's public officials ethics committee.

金被指控将部分硬币存款转入银行账户，以匹配其资产总额，并将其余存款兑换成硬币，以妨碍国会公职人员伦理委员会对资产变动的审查。

The committee would have examined the process of property formation if the property of the National Assembly increased rapidly and would have made a written request, the prosecution said during the hearing at the Seoul Southern District Court.

检方在首尔南部地方法院举行的听证会上表示，如果国会财产迅速增加，该委员会将审查财产形成过程，并提出书面请求。

"In the process, the defendant would have known that he had a large amount of coin deposits," a prosecutor said.

“在此过程中，被告会知道他拥有大量硬币存款，”一名检察官说。

The former lawmaker cried at the final hearing and pleaded not guilty.

这位前议员在最终听证会上哭泣并表示不认罪。

"I was elected as a member of the National Assembly, and I didn't receive anything that was rice cake, bungeoppang and gave me in good faith," Kim said, crying.

“我当选为国会议员，但我没有收到任何真诚送给我的年糕、糕饼，”金哭着说。

"I knew it was difficult to live pure and clean in politics, but I didn't want to live (illegally) if I didn't do politics."

“我知道在政治中纯洁地生活是很困难的，但如果我不从事政治，我就不想（非法）生活。”

Kim is accused of hiding the fact that he made huge profits from coin investments during the National Assembly's property declaration twice in 2021 and 2022.

金正恩被指控在2021年和2022年两次国会财产申报期间隐瞒了通过硬币投资获得巨额利润的事实。

Prosecutors believe that Kim hid his holdings of about 9.9 billion won in coin deposits during the 2021 property reporting process, reported his total assets to about 1.2 billion won and concealed about 990 million won in the same way in 2022.

检察官认为，金某在2021年财产申报过程中隐匿了自己持有的约99亿韩元的硬币存款，在2022年申报了自己的总资产约12亿韩元，并以同样的方式隐匿了约9.9亿韩元。

Sentencing will be held at 2 p.m. on February 10 next year.

宣判将于明年2月10日下午2点进行。
