Last week, the prosecution, who conducted a major seizure search of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the headquarters of Korea Gas Corporation, was belatedly revealed that in the process, the homes and mobile phones of two managers of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy were seized.
They were dispatched as administrators to the Office of the Blue House's industrial policy secretary in 2018, when the Blue House decided to close the Wolseong nuclear power plant early in 2018. Lost.
Prosecutors are said to look into whether they have intervened in the process of evaluating the economic feasibility of nuclear power plants and determining early closure.
The prosecution's blade is aimed at the upper line of the Blue House, following the president of Korea Gas Corporation, Chae Hee-bong, who was then the secretary for industrial policy at the Blue House, and administrative officers in charge of business.
It is expected that the speed will accelerate for officials of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy to check whether there has been any intervention or instruction from the Blue House and other superiors in the process of discarding data prior to the audit by the Audit Office.
Depending on the progress of the investigation, the possibility of seizure and search of the Blue House is also raised.
