South Korean prosecutors invaded Samsung Electronics's office in Seoul as part of the political scandal investigation with President Park Guen-hye.
The Samsung Future Strategy offices Office, είναι το προπύργιο ελέγχου όλου του Samsung Group, και βρίσκεται στα κεντρικά γραφεία της Samsung Electronics στο Gangnam of Seoul.
Samsung is said to have given money to the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, a close friend of President Park. Choi has been jailed for using his influence to influence national affairs through bribery by various groups.
The South Korean company reportedly gave ₩3000000000 billion (about $3 million) to Choi through a company called Widec Sports based in Germany, with the nominal excuse of supporting Choi's daughter's equestrian education.
When this claim came to the surface earlier this month, Samsung denied giving money to Widec Sports.
So today, prosecutors have also invaded Korea Horse Riding Center, specifically the Korea Equestrian Federation and the Korea Horse Affairs Association.
Let's say Samsung Electronics Chairman Sang-jin is president of the Korea Equestrian Federation, so his office was also the target of this raid.
This is the first time a raid by authorities in Samsung's headquarters since the corruption scandal erupted eight years ago.
But the company was also accused in the past of creating black funds to pay bribes to senior government officials.
