[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The prosecution has conducted a search and seizure of the Gyeongju City Sports Council in Gyeongbuk in connection with the death of the late athlete Choi Sook-hyun.

On the morning of the 20th, the Daegu District Prosecutors' Office sent investigators to carry out a search and seizure at the Gyeongju City Sports Council office located in Hwangseong-dong, Gyeongju. It is reported that the prosecution secured documents and computer files related to the operation of the city sports council and the workplace sports teams.

Meanwhile, a special audit of the Gyeongju City Sports Council by Gyeongbuk Province confirmed that although the city of Gyeongju was informed of the internal team violence by the deceased's father last February, it did not formally register it as an official complaint.

In this regard, Gyeongbuk Province is expected to begin follow-up measures based on the audit results after the National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee holds a hearing on the "Harsh Treatment of Triathlon Athletes and Human Rights Violations in the Sports Sector" on the 22nd.
