Over 10 hours, the police confiscated and searched the residences of LH Gwacheon and Uiwang business headquarters, LH headquarters, Gwangmyeong and Siheung business headquarters, and 13 suspected government officials and LH employees.
The charges stipulated in the seizure and search warrant violate the Anti-Corruption Act and the Special Act on Public Housing.
The police, who had 67 investigative personnel, secured hard disks for computers and mobile phones for employees in trouble.
A ban on leaving the country was also implemented.
As the search for seizure took place one week after the alleged speculation was exposed, criticism came out saying that “the procrastination investigation only provided time to destroy evidence.”
The police explained, “I applied for a warrant for seizure and search last Friday, but the court issued a warrant only three days later, the afternoon of the day.”
In response, the court said, “The issue was delayed because the weekend was closed and the prosecution did not inform it that it was an urgent matter.”
The National Investigation Headquarters, which began the forced investigation, decided to upgrade the current Special Investigation Team to the government joint special investigative headquarters.
As soon as the analysis of the confiscated material is finished, the police will summon those involved to investigate.
