The former president of KT Home Customer Division, who was responsible for hiring at the time, was arrested in 2012.

The court issued a warrant that there was concern about escape and evidence of destruction.

Seo is suspected of involvement in six illegal recruitment, including the daughter of free South Korea 's Kim Seong - tae.

The prosecution confirmed nine cases of unfair recruitment in 2012 that have been identified so far. The prosecution is aware that the daughter of the then general secretary of the private committee receiving the deputy-level treatment, as well as Kim's daughter, has also received preferential treatment.

Seo acknowledged the involvement in four illegal hiring, but said he had never been involved in the recruitment of Kim Seung-won and vice-ministerial children.

The prosecution is gaining a lot of insight into the identity of the person who has acted as a link in the corruption scandal.

KT chairman Lee Seok-chae, who was the general manager of the company at the time, will also call in the near future to investigate the overall suspicion.
