[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The Busan Police Agency's dedicated investigation team conducted a search and seizure at Busan City Hall on the morning of the 7th in connection with allegations of sexual harassment against former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don.
The search and seizure, which began at 9:30 a.m., lasted for 1 hour and 30 minutes and ended around 11 a.m. The offices of close aides to former Mayor Oh were targeted. Searches were conducted at the offices of Shin Jin-gu, Busan City's External Cooperation Officer, and Jang Hyung-cheol, former Policy Secretary.
Former Mayor Oh admitted to sexually harassing a female public official in his office and resigned from his mayoral position.
The police have concluded the investigation into former Mayor Oh's sexual harassment case, but as there are final matters to confirm regarding various allegations including abuse of power, they reportedly coordinated with the prosecution to conduct a search and seizure at the offices of Busan City Hall officials.
A police official stated, "Although the search and seizure at Busan City Hall is ongoing, we cannot disclose detailed investigation information."
