(서산=연합뉴스) 김소연 기자 = 대전지검 서산지청은 인사 청탁을 대가로 금두꺼비를 수수했다는 의혹을 받아온 가세로 전 충남 태안군수를 증거불충분으로 불기소 처분했다고 23일 밝혔다.

가 전 군수는 태안군 공무원이던 A씨로부터 2022년 7월 사무관 승진을 대가로 지역 사업가이자 브로커인 B씨를 통해 금두꺼비 3냥(당시 시가 1천만원 상당)을 상납받았다는 혐의(청탁금지법 위반·뇌물수수)로 수사를 받아왔다.

경찰은 B씨가 2024년 6월 태안군청 정문에서 가 군수를 향해 '내 돈 갚아라'는 현수막을 게시하며 1인 시위를 벌이는 모습을 보고 가 군수에 대한 수사에 착수해 지난 4월 가 전 군수와 A·B씨를 검찰에 송치했다.

검찰은 A씨와 B씨에 대해서도 불기소 처분을 했다.

그동안 혐의를 강하게 부인해 왔던 가 전 군수는 연합뉴스와 통화에서 "처음부터 실체적 진실을 밝히기 위한 수사가 아니라 의도된 수사였다"고 주장했다.

Even if some of the reasons for disciplinary action are denied, if the remaining grounds for disciplinary action are serious, the disciplinary action will be maintained.

The Supreme Court ruled that the police officer's demotion was justified because he contacted the police officer 20 times requesting cancellation of the civil complaint and repeatedly confessed to the cafe owner during working hours. It was stated that even if some of the reasons for disciplinary action were not recognized, the disposition could be maintained based on the remaining reasons alone.
