Jengsu Scandal

The '2012 Jengsu Political Scandal was a major political and economic scandal involving the Lord Gwak Il of Jiwae, a member of the House of Lords, as well as a number of notable Deputies and local officials who took bribes from the Osorra International Trade Market and Karpacom in order to permit government contracts and permit the construction of the Jengsu Gas Refinery. OITM and Karpacom's actions, especially in the usage of foreign mafias and local criminal organisations in facilitating their control over local officials and politicians, would have severe reprecussions for foreign relations between Osorra and Hwangchu for years.

Widespread coverage of this scandal occured in early June 2012 during the leakings of the [insert name] Papers which saw government dealings of the Osorra International Trade Market revealed. Of note to the public was their operations in Hwangchu, an attempt to start up a liquidifed natural gas industry in the country by setting up the first major gas refinery near the city of Jengsu. As a result of this scandal, the Lord Gwak Il was placed under heavy scrutiny with an investigation starting on 8th October. The Lord Gwak Il eventually had his peerage revoked by an act of parliament, the previous Prime Minister Seonu Chung-Ae, came under heavy scrutiny for her failure to moderate the corruption during her government which would eventually lead to her later arrest after the discovery of further corruption scandals relating to the Jeongsa Corporation and their corruption in obtaining military contracts. The new government set up a special prosecution team led by Yeo Myung-Dae which began investigating into the iincident in August 2012 which would eventually lead to the arrest of 6 Deputies and a number of local officials as well as the nationalisation of the liquified natural gas industry for 5 years.
