Special counsel raids handball arena in ballot probe

Special counsel Lee Tae-han's team on Tuesday searched the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in Seoul, which served as a vote counting center during the June 3 local elections, to secure election-related documents and CCTV footage. The raid, which began around 8:30 a.m., involved 12 personnel including two prosecutors and forensic investigators, targeting documents from Songpa District and CCTV recordings stored at the venue, Yonhap reports. The team also plans to inspect about 2.47 million ballots stored there as part of its probe into the unprecedented ballot shortage, according to KBS World and the Korea Times. Korean media are closely covering the development, with Yonhap, Dong-a Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo, and Hankyoreh all reporting the raid as a key step in the investigation.
