Prosecutors Conduct Search and Seizure at Busan City Hall Related to Oh Keo-don's Sexual Harassment Case

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The prosecution has begun a search and seizure operation at Busan City Hall.

On the 20th, around 9:30 a.m., the Busan District Prosecutors' Office deployed about 20 prosecutors and investigators to secure documents and computer hard drives from the Information Technology Office, the Human Resources Department, and the office of Shin Jin-gu, Busan City's External Cooperation Advisor.

Considering that the Busan District Prosecutors' Office visited the office of Shin Jin-gu, a close aide to former Mayor Oh Keo-don, it appears that the search and seizure is related to the sexual harassment case involving former Mayor Oh. Additionally, the prosecution also conducted a search and seizure at the Disaster Response Department, reportedly securing materials related to the Choryang Underpass disaster that occurred during the heavy rain in July.

Meanwhile, former Mayor Oh voluntarily resigned after holding a press conference on April 23 to disclose the sexual harassment incident. Furthermore, on the night of July 23, the Choryang No. 1 Underpass in Dong-gu, Busan, a 175-meter-long, two-lane road connecting Jungang-daero and Chungjang-daero, was flooded, resulting in three deaths.
