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, is the bastion of control of the entire Samsung Group, and is located at the Samsung Electronics headquarters in Gangnam, Seoul.
Samsung is reported to have given money to the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, a close friend of President Park. Choi has been imprisoned as he used his influence to influence national affairs with bribes from various groups.
The South Korean company reportedly gave ₩3000000000 billion (about $3 million) to Choi through a company called Widec Sports and is based in Germany, with the nominal justification being the support of cavalry educationof Choi's daughter.
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.
