The Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-chul) sent prosecutors and investigators on the 12th to Yoon's residence and constituency office to secure accounting documents related to the Democratic Party's 2021 party convention.

The prosecution suspects that Kang Rae-gu, then president of the Korea Public Institution Audit Association, handed over illegal funds to Yoon's side through Lee Jung-geun, former deputy secretary-general of the Democratic Party (who is under indictment), ahead of the party convention.

During the forensic examination of Lee's mobile phone, the prosecution reportedly obtained a recording file in which former President Kang said, "Ten envelopes have been prepared, so please deliver them to Representative Yoon," prompting the current raid.
