[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] The police investigating the sexual harassment case involving former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don and a female public official have confirmed that they have seized and are analyzing the mobile phones of former Mayor Oh and his political aides.

Busan Police Agency announced on the 18th that they obtained and executed search warrants for former Mayor Oh and his political aides from the 16th to the 17th.

Through this search, the police seized former Mayor Oh's mobile phone and also secured the mobile phones of his political aides.
