Ex-lawmaker's home searched in development scandal
An investigator loads a box of seized objects into a car after searching the home of former main opposition People Power Party lawmaker Kwak Sang-do, Wednesday, as part of the prosecution's probe into a land development project scandal in Daejang-dong in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province. Kwak is under investigation for possible influence peddling on behalf of the developer, Hwacheon Daeyu Asset Management, as his 32-year-old son, who had worked at the company, received 5 billion won in severance pay after just seven years of work there.
