[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] It has been confirmed that the special investigation team led by Lee Hyun-joo, which is investigating allegations of evidence tampering in the Sewol ferry disaster, conducted a search and seizure operation at the Naval Headquarters and the Naval Rescue Squadron.


According to the legal community on the 11th, the special investigation team conducted a search and seizure at the Naval Rescue Squadron on the 7th, and two days later, on the 9th, sent prosecutors and investigators to the Naval Headquarters to carry out a search and seizure and secured related materials. This search and seizure operation was reportedly aimed at verifying allegations that the DVR, the closed-circuit television (CCTV) storage device inside the Sewol ferry, had been swapped.



It is also known that the special investigation team summoned and interrogated a Coast Guard official who had observed the DVR video restoration procedure at the Mokpo branch of the Gwangju District Court at the time of the accident the previous day.
