노웅래 전 의원이 수천만원대 뇌물과 불법 정치자금을 받은 혐의로 기소되었으나, 2심에서 위법 증거 배제를 이유로 무죄가 선고되었습니다. 더불어민주당 김민석 대표는 검찰의 조작 기소를 비판하며 '석고대죄'를 촉구했습니다. 당내에서는 노 전 의원 체포 당시 법무부 장관이었던 한동훈 의원을 향한 비판도 제기되었습니다. 한 의원은 노 전 의원이 돈을 받지 않았다는 주장을 반박하며, '위법수집증거 배제'라는 형식적인 이유로 무죄가 선고되었다고 강조했습니다. 또한, 송영길 의원의 무죄도 같은 이유로 이루어졌다고 주장하며, 송 의원 보좌관은 먹사연 불법 자금 관련 사건에서 대법원에서 유죄가 확정되었다고 지적했습니다.
Former lawmaker Noh Woong-rae was indicted on charges of receiving tens of millions of won in bribes and illegal political funds, but he was acquitted in the second trial due to the exclusion of illegally obtained evidence. Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok criticized the prosecution's manipulated indictment and called for 'a stone statue apology'. Criticism has also been raised within the party against Han Dong-hoon, who was the Minister of Justice at the time of former lawmaker Noh's arrest. One lawmaker refuted the claim that former lawmaker Noh did not receive money, emphasizing that he was acquitted due to the formal reason of 'exclusion of illegally collected evidence'. He also argued that the acquittal of lawmaker Song Young-gil was for the same reason. Song's aide pointed out that Song was convicted by the Supreme Court in a case related to illegal funds from meals.
Mantan anggota parlemen Noh Woong-rae didakwa menerima suap dan dana politik ilegal senilai jutaan won, tetapi dinyatakan tidak bersalah dalam pengadilan banding karena bukti yang diperoleh secara ilegal. Ketua Partai Demokrat Kim Min-seok mengkritik dakwaan yang diduga dimanipulasi oleh kejaksaan dan menyerukan 'penebusan dosa'. Di dalam partai, kritik juga ditujukan kepada mantan anggota parlemen Han Dong-hoon yang saat itu menjabat sebagai Menteri Kehakiman ketika No ditangkap. Seorang anggota parlemen membantah klaim bahwa No tidak menerima uang, menekankan bahwa vonis tidak bersalah diberikan karena alasan formal 'pembatalan bukti yang diperoleh secara ilegal'. Selain itu, ia berpendapat bahwa pembebasaan mantan anggota parlemen Song Young-gil juga didasarkan pada alasan yang sama. Seorang asisten Song menyatakan bahwa dalam kasus dana ilegal terkait makan malam, pengadilan tingkat banding telah memutuskan Song bersalah.
