[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] It has been confirmed that the police investigating the speculation allegations involving employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) have secured 18 mobile phones and are conducting digital forensics.

According to the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency on the 15th, the police conducted a search and seizure on the 9th at the LH headquarters, business divisions, and the homes of employees suspected of speculation, securing 18 mobile phones.

The police first conducted primary digital forensics on these mobile phones at the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency. Subsequently, due to technical reasons related to extracting specific data from some models, seven phones were sent to the National Police Agency’s Supreme Investigation Headquarters, equipped with forensic programs, where the forensics are ongoing.

A police official stated, "Specific details are difficult to disclose as the investigation is ongoing," but added, "A proper analysis of the seized mobile phones is underway."

If the LH employees involved in the speculation allegations used internal information, it is expected that the mobile phones contain crucial evidence. The police plan to summon and investigate the employees once the analysis of the seized items, including the mobile phones, is completed.
