The Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 3 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Kang Baek-shin) has been conducting a search and seizure at the residences of Park and Seo, who served as the situation room chiefs of the presidential campaign, since the morning.

The prosecution is investigating Lee (64), former director of the Gyeonggi-do Market Promotion Agency, on suspicion of giving false alibi testimony regarding the timing of illegal presidential election fund receipt during Kim's trial on May 4. The prosecution suspects that Park and others were involved in Lee's perjury against former Deputy Director Kim.

Coincidentally, the search and seizure took place just before Lee appeared at the Central District Prosecutors' Office over allegations of preferential treatment in the Baekhyeon-dong development project.
