(서울=연합뉴스) 이영섭 기자 = '명태균 여론조사비 대납 의혹'을 받는 오세훈 서울시장 항소심 재판에 오 시장에게 유리한 증거가 제출됐다.

대납 당사자로 지목된 사업가 김한정씨와 명태균씨가 나눈 통화 녹음 파일로, 오 시장이 명씨에게 여론조사를 의뢰하지 않은 정황이 담긴 것으로 파악됐다.

재판부는 오는 16일 이 증거를 실제로 재판에 활용할지 결정할 예정이다.

15일 법조계에 따르면 김씨 측은 최근 오 시장의 정치자금법 위반 혐의 사건 항소심 재판부인 서울고법 형사7부(구회근 부장판사)에 자신과 명씨가 나눈 통화 녹음파일을 증거로 냈다.

통화 시점은 2021년 4·7 서울시장 보궐선거를 앞두고 국민의힘 후보로 선출된 후 안철수 당시 국민의당 후보와 단일화를 추진하던 3월 6일과 13일이다.

녹음에 따르면 김씨는 명씨에게 "'프로테이지(여론 지지율) 잘 나오게 하겠습니다'해서 나는 뭐 니 얘기 듣고 했는데, 그 결과가 그래 안 되고"라고 말한다.

명씨가 오 시장의 지지율이 높게 나오게 여론조사를 하겠다고 말했지만 실제 결과는 달랐다는 취지다.

김씨는 또 "이 양반 돕고 싶어서 내가 일을 했잖아", "거기서 원해, 원한 것도 아니고, 내 혼자 해가지고"라고 발언하기도 한다.

취지를 종합하면 김씨가 명씨의 말을 믿고 본인이 직접 여론조사를 의뢰했음을 추정할 수 있는 대목이다.

이는 오 시장이 명씨에게 여론조사를 의뢰한 후 그 비용을 김씨가 대신 납부하게 했다는 공소사실에 배치된다.

녹음 파일에는 명씨가 "나는 형님(김씨)하고 오 시장하고의 관계를 잘 몰랐으니까", "오 시장이 (김씨를) 직접 소개시켜준 게 아니다", "오 시장 관계없이 형님하고, 형님이 그래 도와 주고 해서"라고 말하기도 한다.

이는 오세훈 시장이 김씨를 '자금 댈 사람'으로 소개해줬다는 명씨의 수사기관 진술과 결이 다르다.

김씨 측은 이 녹음파일을 토대로 공소 사실이 전제부터 성립할 수 없다는 주장을 펴고 있다.

오 시장은 2021년 4·7 서울시장 보궐선거를 앞두고 명씨로부터 10차례에 걸쳐 여론조사 결과를 받아보고 오랜 후원자인 김씨에게 비용 3천300만원을 대신 내게 한 혐의로 작년 12월 불구속 기소됐다.

1심은 오 시장이 여론조사 5건을 명씨에게 의뢰하고 비용 2천100만원을 김씨가 대납하게 했다고 인정해 오 시장에게 벌금 1천만원을 선고하고 추징금 2천100만원을 명했다.

정치자금 부정수수죄로 벌금 100만원 이상의 형이 확정되면 5년간 공직에 취임하거나 임용될 수 없다. 이미 취임하거나 임용된 경우 퇴직해야 한다.

함께 기소된 오 시장 측근인 강철원 전 서울시 정무부시장에게는 벌금 300만원, 김씨에게는 벌금 500만원이 각각 선고됐다.

Visited Incheon City Hall to appeal for damage… “It’s a border area, but it’s reverse discrimination because it’s a metropolitan area.”

Incheon City's Ganghwa County Governor Park Yong-cheol visited Incheon City Hall and requested the attention of the central government and Incheon City, saying that even though it is a border area, it is being excluded from support because it is in the metropolitan area. Despite being close enough to see North Korea's Yeonbaek Plain, it is not receiving support due to the Seoul Metropolitan Area Readjustment Planning Act, and complained of compensation issues after North Korea's broadcast to South Korea ended, noise damage from Incheon International Airport, and damage to fishermen and merchants due to misunderstandings regarding the detection of uranium in groundwater at Ganghwa Seogumdo Island.
