[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The prosecution is conducting a search and seizure at the office of Hwang Unha, the elected member of the National Assembly from the Democratic Party of Korea.

On the morning of the 24th, prosecutors and investigators were sent to Hwang's election office located in Jung-gu, Daejeon, to seize materials. It is known that the prosecution is trying to secure related materials to verify whether there was any improper use of the list of party members by Hwang's campaign before the Democratic Party primary for the April 13 general election.

Hwang was also indicted on charges including violation of the Public Official Election Act in connection with allegations of a Blue House-directed investigation and election interference that arose while he was serving as the head of the Ulsan Metropolitan Police Agency, and he had his first trial on the 23rd. If he is sentenced to a fine of 1 million won or more in this trial, he will lose his seat as a member of the National Assembly.
