Prosecutors have notified the former leader of the main opposition Democratic Party Lee Jae-myung and his wife to appear for questioning over allegations of corporate credit card misuse when Lee served as the governor of Gyeonggi Province, sources said Sunday.Prosecutors at the Suwon District Prosecutors Office notified Lee of the questioning last Thursday over charges of breach of duty, according to the sources.The two sides are said to have agreed to arrange a finalized date for the session.Lee and his wife are accused of allegedly misusing the corporate card from 2018 to 2019 for personal use by making a former Gyeonggi Province official, surnamed Bae, use the card to buy food items when Lee served as governor.The summoning came after prosecutors last month indicted Lee on charges of involvement in an unauthorized transfer of US$8 million to North Korea. Lee has criticized the indictment, saying the allegations "defy common sense."Source: Yonhap News Agency
