[단독]"검찰, 정기명 여수시장 비서실장 A씨 내사···대형 관급공사 특혜의혹 정조준"여수시 발주 공사업체 선정과정서 B업체 특혜의혹 규명...투서 및 고소·고발장 여러 건 검찰에 접수된 듯...내사단계서 혐의점 포착시 강제수사 전환...정 시장, 수사여부 따라 취임 이래 최대 정치적위기 맞을 수도
검찰이 정기명 여수시장의 비서실장 A씨가 대형 관급공사를 특정업체에 밀어준 특혜의혹과 관련해 내사가 진행 중인 것으로 전해져 파문이 예상된다.
여수시가 발주한 업체선정을 둘러싸고 여러 건의 투서와 고소·고발장이 검찰에 접수된 것으로 알려지면서 강제수사가 초읽기에 들어갔다는 관측이 나온다.
5일 여수시와 공익제보자 등에 따르면 여수시가 발주한 관급공사와 관련해 특혜정황이 담긴 내용들이 두세건 검찰에 접수된 것으로 안다고 밝혔다.
이에 따라 검찰 내사단계에서 구체적인 혐의점이 드러나면 강제수사로 전환될 가능성이 한층 높아 보여 수사착수 여부에 촉각을 곤두세우고 있다.
이를 두고 일각에선 여수시가 올 상반기 공영개발로 진행한 총사업비 2천억 원대 소제지구 개발사업에 대해 의심스런 눈초리를 보내고 있다.
실제 여수 소제지구 공동주택용지 개발사업에 대한 공사업체를 결정하는 민간사업자 예비심사위원 선정 과정에서 불공정 논란이 일기도 했다.
해당사업은 업체선정 당시 민간참여 컨소시엄 업체에 예비 심사위원 후보명단을 사전 제공받아 짜고친 게 아니냐며 특정업체 밀어주기 의혹이 강력 제기됐다.
소제지구 공동주택용지 분양설계 공모에서 지역건설사인 중흥토건과 현대그룹 계열사인 HDC현대산업개발이 자웅을 겨뤄 중흥토건이 최종 선정됐다.
이와함께 검찰은 수백억 원대에 이르는 여수시도시재생사업에 대해서도 수사가 진행 중인 것으로 알려졌다.
여수시도시재생사업에 대한 고강도 감사과정에서 감사원 특별조사국이 일부 수상한 자금 흐름을 포착하고 광주지검 순천지청에 수사를 의뢰하면서다.
검찰은 혐의를 받고 있는 전직 공무원과 당시 실무라인에 있던 관계공무원 및 민간사업자 등을 대상으로 소환 조사가 이뤄진 것으로 전해졌다.
여수 정관계 안팎에선 "특정업체 비서실장 연루설과 관련해 만일 수사가 본격화된다면 자칫 권력형 비리로 이어질 수도 있는 사안"이라면서 "다만 음해성 투서가 아니라면 시시비비는 잘 가려질 것"이라고 내다봤다.

Targeting suspicions of preferential treatment in large-scale public works projects
Investigation into suspicions of preferential treatment of Company B in the selection process for construction companies for Yeosu City... It seems that several complaints and indictments have been received by the prosecution... If suspicions are found during the internal investigation stage, they will be converted to mandatory investigation... Mayor Jeong may face the biggest political crisis since taking office depending on whether the investigation is conducted

The prosecution is reportedly investigating the suspicions that Chief Secretary A of Yeosu Mayor Jeong Gi-myeong gave preferential treatment to a specific company in pushing large-scale public works projects, which is expected to spark controversy.
As it has been reported that the prosecution has received several complaints and indictments and accusations surrounding the selection of companies commissioned by Yeosu City, there is speculation that a compulsory investigation is imminent.
According to Yeosu City and whistleblowers on the 5th, the prosecution has received two or three cases containing preferential treatment related to public works projects commissioned by Yeosu City.
Accordingly, if specific suspicions are revealed during the prosecution investigation stage, it seems highly likely that it will be converted to a compulsory investigation, and attention is being paid to whether or not the investigation will begin.
Some are suspicious of the Soje District development project, which Yeosu City carried out as a public development project in the first half of this year with a total project cost of 200 billion won.
There was also a controversy over unfairness in the process of selecting the preliminary review committee members for the private sector that decided the construction company for the Yeosu Soje District public housing development project.
There were strong suspicions that the project was rigged by receiving a list of preliminary review committee members from the private sector consortium companies in advance when selecting the company, and that a specific company was being pushed forward.
In the public offering design competition for the public housing site in the Soje District, local construction company Jungheung Construction and Hyundai Group affiliate HDC Hyundai Industrial Development competed, and Jungheung Construction was ultimately selected.
In addition, the prosecution is known to be investigating the Yeosu City Urban Regeneration Project worth hundreds of billions of won.
This is because during the high-intensity audit of the Yeosu City Urban Regeneration Project, the Board of Audit and Inspection’s Special Investigation Bureau detected some suspicious fund flows and requested an investigation by the Gwangju District Prosecutors’ Office’s Suncheon Branch.
It is reported that the prosecution summoned and investigated former public officials under suspicion, related public officials who were in the field at the time, and private business operators.
Inside and outside the political circles of Yeosu, there was a prediction that if the investigation into the involvement of a certain company's chief secretary becomes full-scale, it could easily lead to corruption involving those in power, but if it is not a malicious tip, the rights and wrongs will be easily sorted out. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스전남동부 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
