<Anchor> The



police investigating allegations of speculation by LH employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation today (9th) invested more than 60 people to search for seizure.

It has been a week since allegations of speculation in the new city were raised.

Amid criticism that government agencies without compulsory investigative powers were investigating themselves and only time passed, the government decided to upgrade the current investigation team to a joint special investigative headquarters.



This is the first news today, reporter Jeon Byeong-nam.

[What kind of charges are you going to check the data to prove?]



Same view.



LH headquarters, Gwangmyeong and Siheung business headquarters, and the residence of the suspected government officials and 13 LH employees.



The search for seizure was carried out simultaneously from early in the morning.



The National Police Agency's National Investigation Headquarters hired 67 investigators, including the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency, to secure documents related to land projects and computer hard disks.




[What data did you seize and search? Did you come up with additional data to prove the allegation.] In



particular, it took more than 10 hours to secure a large amount of data from the server at the LH headquarters in Jinju, Gyeongnam.



It was found that the police indicated the alleged violation of the Anti-Corruption Act and the Special Act on Public Housing in the seizure and search warrant.



We are looking for evidence to determine whether we bought the land based on the inside information we learned in the course of our work.



A ban on leaving the country was also implemented.



As the search for seizure took place one week after the alleged speculation was exposed, criticism came out saying that "the procrastination investigation only gave me time to destroy evidence" and "wasted a week on self-investigation by the government."



The police explained, "I applied for a warrant for seizure and search last Friday, but the court issued a warrant only yesterday afternoon, three days later."



In response, the court said, "It was delayed because the weekend was closed and the prosecution did not inform it that it was an urgent issue."



The National Investigation Headquarters, which began the forced investigation, decided to upgrade the current Special Investigation Team to the government joint special investigative headquarters.



It also announced that it will conduct all-round investigations on suspected speculation areas across the country, including the third new town that has become a problem.



As soon as the analysis of the confiscated material is finished, the police will summon those involved to investigate.
