국정감사 첫날 공직선거법 위반 혐의 피의자 조사

(서울=연합뉴스) 전재훈 기자 = 정원오 전 서울시장 후보의 성동구청장 재임 시절 멕시코 캉쿤 출장 관련 의혹을 제기했다가 고소당한 국민의힘 김재섭 의원이 6일 "내 발언 중 하나도 허위가 없다"고 주장했다.

서울경찰청 광역수사단 공공범죄수사대는 이날 오전 10시부터 공직선거법(허위사실 공표) 위반 등 혐의로 김 의원을 피의자로 조사한다.

김 의원은 조사 시작 전 마포구 광역수사단 청사 앞에서 기자회견을 열고 "(앞선 의혹 제기는) 모두 구체적인 자료, 공신력 있는 자료를 바탕으로 했다"며 "내가 할 수 있는 최대한의 사실 검증을 했고, 내가 말한 것 중 단 하나의 거짓도 없다"고 말했다.

그러면서 "오늘은 국정감사가 시작되는 날인데 경찰서 앞에 서 있다. 명백한 야당 탄압이자 이재명 정권의 노골적인 김재섭 죽이기"라며 "정치 경찰의 노골적인 탄압"이라고 주장했다.

아울러 정원오 전 후보 측이 출장에 동행한 공무원의 성별을 다르게 표기한 것을 두고 '단순 실수'라고 해명한 데 대해선 "어처구니없는 변명"이라며 "그것이야말로 허위 사실"이라고 말했다.

앞서 김 의원은 지난 3월 31일 국회 기자회견에서 정 전 후보가 성동구청장 재임 중이던 2023년 공무원 임모씨와 멕시코 캉쿤에 출장을 다녀왔고, 공무국외출장 심사 의결서에는 임씨의 성별이 '남성'으로 조작됐다는 의혹을 제기했다.

또 "해외 출장 이후 해당 여직원은 성동구청에서 더 높은 급수의 직위로 다시 채용됐다"며 인사 특혜 의혹도 내놨다.

이에 정 전 후보는 동행 공무원 임씨가 해외 업무 담당자이고, 캉쿤은 경유지였다고 반박했다.

성별 표기 오류는 구청 측의 단순한 실수라고 주장했다.

공무원 임씨는 지난 4월 김 의원을 공직선거법 위반 등 혐의로 고소했다.

경찰은 이날 김 의원을 상대로 의혹 제기 경위 등을 조사할 예정이다.
