Seongnam City Hall.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The police investigating allegations that former members of Eun Soo-mi’s Gyeonggi Seongnam mayoral election camp were improperly hired by Seongnam City and its affiliated organizations have conducted a search and seizure at Seongnam City Hall.

The Anti-Corruption Economic Crime Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Southern Provincial Police Agency began a search and seizure around 10 a.m. on the 24th, targeting about 10 locations including the mayor’s office at Seongnam City Hall and departments related to recruitment. This is the second search and seizure related to the allegations since February.

The search and seizure were reportedly carried out to clarify recruitment corruption allegations that were publicly reported in January this year by Lee, a former secretary to Mayor Eun. Lee had filed a report with the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission claiming that 27 individuals from Mayor Eun’s camp were improperly hired by Seongnam City Hall and its affiliated organizations.

The police plan to analyze the materials obtained through the search and seizure and summon related individuals for investigation.
