[속보] 미국 CNBC, "반주현 뇌물수수혐의로 기소로 반기문까지 수사 확대 가능성"...반장어 서둘러 귀국한 이유가 있었네 !!!

반기문 유엔사무총장이 퇴임하자 마자 미 연방검찰이 반총장의 동생과 조카를 뇌물수수혐의 등으로 기소했으며, 반총장으로도 수사를 확대할 것으로 알려짐.

뉴욕남부연방검찰은 뉴욕현지시간 10일오전 반전총장의 동생 반기상 전 경남기업 고문과 조카 반주현씨가 베트남의 랜드마크72건물 매각과 관련, 중동국가의 관리들과 뇌물을 주고 받은혐의로 전격 기소.

특히 반전총장의 조카 반주현시씨는 뉴저지의 자신의 집에서 이미 체포돼 이날 오후 뉴욕남부연방 법원에 출두.

뉴욕남부연방검찰은 오래전부터 이 사건을 예의주시했으며 유엔 관련 비리로 보고 수사중인 것으로 알려져 반전총장으로 수사가 확대될 가능성도 배제할 수 없음.

반전총장의 동생 반기상씨는 경남기업 고문으로 일하면서 자살한 성완종 경남기업회장에게
자신의 아들 반주현씨를 통해 경남기업소유의 랜드마크 72건물을 매각하게 해주겠다고 장담했으며 반주현씨는 경남기업으로부터 수수료만 받아 챙긴(로비?)뒤 카타르투자청등의 서류를 위조한 사실이 드러나 경남기업으로 부터 수수료만 받아 챙긴뒤 카타르투자청등의 서류를 위조한 사실이 드러나 경남기업으로 부터 제소됐고 한국법원에서 패소판결을 받음.

특히 반주현씨는 경남기업에 보낸 이메일에서는 큰아버지인 반전총장을 통해 카타르왕실과 접촉 랜드마크 72를 매각하겠다고 주장한 사실이 드러나는등, 반전총장도 이 사건에서 자유로울 수 없는 입장.

한편 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선인은 반전총장의 면담 러브콜을 거부하고
'내가 취임함과 동시에 유엔은 달라져야 한다'고 트윗을 날리는등 일찌감치 유엔개혁을 부르짖은 점을 감안하면 연방검찰의 이번 기소는 이같은 트럼프 당선인의 입장과 무관하지 않다는 분석.

US charges former UN chief Ban's relatives in bribery case


Two relatives of former U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon have been indicted on U.S. charges that they engaged in a scheme to bribe a Middle Eastern official in connection with the attempted $800 million sale of a building complex in Vietnam.
Joo Hyun "Dennis" Bahn, a New York real estate broker who is Ban Ki-Moon's nephew, and his father Ban Ki-sang, Ban Ki-moon's brother who was a senior executive at South Korean construction firm Keangnam Enterprises Co Ltd, were charged in an indictment unsealed on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court.
Bahn is in custody and expected to appear in court later on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said. Defense lawyers could not immediately be identified.
The charges came after Ban Ki-moon stepped down on Dec. 31 after serving two five-year terms as U.N. Secretary-General.
Ban Ki-moon was not charged. A former foreign minister of South Korea, Ban is expected to enter the race to become the country's next president, though he has yet to declare his intention to do so.
He could not be immediately reached for comment.
According to the indictment, in 2013, Keangnam was facing a liquidity crisis and turned to Bahn to secure an investor for a Vietnamese building complex called Landmark 72 in exchange for a potential $5 million commission.
Rather than obtain financing legitimately, Bahn and Ban Ki-sang engaged in a scheme to pay bribes to an unnamed Middle Eastern official to convince his country's sovereign wealth fund to acquire Landmark 72, the indictment said.
The bribes were paid through Malcolm Harris, a self-described arts and fashion consultant and blogger who was also charged and who the indictment said claimed to be an agent of the official.
Based on communications with Harris, in April 2014, Bahn and Ban Ki-sang agreed to pay an upfront $500,000 bribe and another $2 million upon the sale's closing, the indictment said.
But Harris did not have the relationship he claimed with the official, the indictment said, and stole the $500,000, which he spent lavishly.
As Keangnam's liquidity crisis worsened, Bahn - believing the bribe had been paid and would work out - schemed to trick Keangnam and its creditors into believing the sovereign wealth fund was close to acquiring Landmark 72, the indictment said.
But when the deal ultimately failed to materialize, Keangnam entered into court receivership in South Korea, according to court papers.
