Simultaneous seizure and search have been conducted since a little over 9 o'clock this morning.
In the seizure and search, 67 investigators from the Anti-Corruption Economic Crime Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency were employed.
The police are focusing on finding specific evidence to prove the alleged dumping of the land through seizure and search.
The police have already completed the investigation of the accuser and the reference person, including the participation regiment.
The police are considering applying the Anti-Corruption Act and the Special Public Housing Act to LH employees who are suspected of dumping land.
Earlier yesterday, under the direction of Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, a joint government special investigation headquarters was established to investigate the'LH speculation suspicion'.
They are asking the National Tax Service and the Financial Services Commission to conduct joint investigations with the National Investigation Headquarters of the National Police Agency.
The joint investigation team that does not have the right to investigate has admitted that there is a limit to the identification of illegal activities such as loan-owned transactions.
It is predicted that this investigation will be a test bench in which the police's self-investigation capabilities will be evaluated after the adjustment of the investigative powers of the prosecutors.
