It appears that the prosecutors, who conducted raids on the offices of five Election Commissions including the central, Seoul, Daejeon, Jeonnam, and Chungbuk offices on the 22nd of last month regarding the recruitment corruption allegations, have additionally moved to secure materials on this day. The Election Commission announced in May that a special audit related to the recruitment of executives' children found "circumstances where it is difficult to exclude the possibility of undue influence" in the career recruitment process of four children, including former Secretary-General Park and former Deputy Secretary Song.
