The Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kim Young-chul) sent prosecutors and investigators to the National Assembly Secretariat in the morning to secure the National Assembly entry records of several lawmakers identified as recipients and former aides of former party leader Song Young-gil.

Earlier, on the 5th of last month, the prosecution secured entry record data for 29 lawmakers' offices through a search and seizure of the National Assembly Secretariat. Afterwards, they requested additional entry records for about 10 National Assembly aides, but when the Secretariat was reluctant to voluntarily submit them, the prosecution obtained a search warrant and carried out the operation on this day.
