Indictment
The indicted: Kee Hwan Ha, former president of Korean American Federation of Los Angeles (KAFLA), and Yong Tae Lee, current president of Korean American Federation of Los Angeles.
The facts of the indictment:
The above indicted persons, while managing a non-profit organization, embezzled and misappropriated various public funds contributed by various members and businesses within the Korean community expressly for the purposes of operating the non-profit organization. From around $1.3 million received as contribution funds, the accused defrauded approximately $300,000 and this fact will be confirmed through the trial.
The accuser, according to article five of the bylaws of the KAFLA which states that any permanent resident or naturalized citizen over the age of eighteen has the right to become a registered member, indicts the above-named person as a rightly registered member of the organization. Furthermore, the accused, under the stipulations of article 31 of the bylaws, have not given a fiscal accounting report to the registered members thus the accuser has no choice but to indict them.
Yong Tae Lee, who has been the president of KAFLA from June 2004 until now, (the accused were elected illegally and that case has been going on for three years now.)has been evading investigation on the fiscal report that previous president Kee Hwan Ha submitted at a restaurant on October 13, 2004 and he has not disclosed this to the registered members.
The relationship of the facts of the criminal activities.
Article 31 of the bylaws of the KAFLA states clearly that an annual audit will be done by one Certified Public Accountant and one respected member of the organization. This audit must also be reported to the Board of Directors and then published in a daily newspaper. This regulation has been kept ever since 1982.
However, the above-named persons did not report back to the members but rather illegally revised five articles from the bylaws. Among these was article 31 which they changed so that one does not need to publish it in the daily paper.
Due to such illegal activities, the accused do not have any fiscal reports or related items nor do they have any bank statements or items of that matter. Of course, we have information that they have now destroyed accounting books and computer disks containing such information .
I, myself, lacking the capacity and the faculty to carry on a thorough investigation, requested that the F.B.I. investigate on November 4, 2004; however, I cannot confirm any results of that investigation at this point.
Just recently, the Dong Po Journal (publisher Kyung Moon Kwon), a paper in the Korean community of the Los Angeles are, reported such activities by the accused. After this certain cronies of the accused came to them and threatened to kill all the people involved in this matter. (reported in the papers on 11/29)
The accused have derided and mocked the members of the Korean community while disguising themselves as public servants serving the community. Thus I ask the courts to have them submit various records regarding the fiscal activities and accounting practices from the years 2000 to 2004 and if any illegal activities are detected, then they must be punished accordingly.
