Min Jong-gi is a South Korean politician charged with corruption.[1] He is currently the governor of Dangjin County in South Chungcheong Province, where he has brought development to the area.[2][3] In late April 2010, he was detained by government officials as he was about to leave the country but was not held in custody. He had in his possession a forged passport. The government was pursuing him because of allegations that he had given construction contracts in exchange for a villa and that he had run a slush fund worth nearly two million dollars while only reporting assets of under $550,000.[1]

Biography
