[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The prosecution has launched an investigation into the case in which the People Power Party accused the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Agency (HCIA) of illegally raiding the office of Assemblyman Kim Woong in connection with the 'report bribery' incident.

According to the legal community on the 16th, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office received the case from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, in which the People Power Party filed a complaint against HCIA Chief Kim Jin-wook and six others, and assigned it to the Criminal Division 6 (Chief Prosecutor Kim Ki-hoon).

Earlier on the 11th, the People Power Party submitted a complaint to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, accusing the HCIA of violating proper procedures during the raid on Assemblyman Kim's National Assembly office, charging abuse of authority, obstruction of the exercise of rights, and illegal search and seizure.

The People Power Party claimed that the HCIA did not properly present the warrant while Assemblyman Kim was absent and attempted to search personal documents of staff members that were not included in the scope of the search warrant.
