<Reporter> In
relation to Seongnam Mayor Eun
Soo-
mi, 33 people, including 27 from the election camp and acquaintances, are suspected of being hired.
In this regard, the police seized and searched six locations including Seongnam City Hall and Seohyun Library.
Seohyun Library selected 15 public officials in 2018, of which 7 are from the Eun Mayor's election camp.
At the time, personnel hiring managers were working at the Seongnam City Hall Disaster Safety Officer and Jeongja 3-dong Administrative Welfare Center.
The police are planning to check whether there was illegal in the hiring process through the analysis of the confiscated material and how far the upper line was reported.
The mayor's secretary's office and home were excluded from seizure and search.
In May of last year, the Seongnam Joongwon Police Department obtained related information, but the internal affairs were closed after a month.
However, when the Blue House national petition, filing a complaint, and public interest report continued, the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency resumed the investigation.
[Mr. Lee/Sumi Eun, former secretary of the Mayor of Seongnam (Correspondent for Rights Committee): Before and after resignation, before and after resigning from the public interest report, the mayor fully reported the severity of the problem and gave the mayor enough time to correct it.
So that our children will not suffer from illegal hiring corruption and weep again…

Some point out that it was a procrastination investigation because it was the first seizure search after 9 months of obtaining information.
The Mayor of Silver has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying there were no problems with the hiring process through social media.
