Sewol tragedy special investigation team seized and searched the Economic Organization Division of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the Personnel Planning Office, Personnel Management Bureau of the Personnel Innovation Office, and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance's Safety Budget Division.

At the time of the Park Geun-hye administration, they were dispatched to the Sewol Special Investigation Committee and assigned budgets.

In the meantime, the family members of the Sewol issue have raised suspicion that the Park Geun-hye government cut the budget for the Special Task Force and deliberately stopped dispatching officials.

The Special Committee said the former chief of staff had instructed several times in October and November 2015 to respond to the adoption of the Presidential Investigation Agenda.
