The second consolidated special counsel, which is investigating the remaining cases of the three special counsels (insurrection, Kim Keon-hee, and the death in the line of duty of a Marine), said on the 6th it is conducting searches and seizures of related companies after confirming indications that first lady Kim Keon-hee received another luxury item in connection with the transfer and renovation of the presidential residence.
Deputy special counsel Kim Ji-mi held a regular briefing that afternoon at the special counsel's office in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, and said, "We have confirmed specific indications that Kim Keon-hee received additional luxury goods in connection with construction at the presidential residence," adding, "We are conducting searches and seizures of the offices of related companies and the residence of the chief executive."
In response to a question about whether the donor is the same as in the bribery suspicions uncovered by the Kim Keon-hee special counsel and when the items were received, Deputy Special Counsel Kim said, "We cannot confirm because the search and seizure is underway."
The Kim Keon-hee special counsel indicted 21gram CEO A and others on the view that Kim received Christian Dior products as gifts from the interior firm 21gram and, in return, awarded it the residence construction work.
