Police have raided the office of the Korean Sport and Olympic Committee and a national training center as they investigate allegations against the committee’s president.

The team in charge of the probe said Wednesday that it sent investigators to eight locations, including the office of the national Olympic body in southern Seoul and the national training center for athletes in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province. 

The investigators are reportedly seeking evidence of hiring practices overseen by Lee Kee-heung, the committee’s president, who is facing charges of obstruction and bribery. 

Last month, a joint inspection team under the Office of Government Policy Coordination released the results of an inspection revealing irregularities at the committee.

The team called for a police investigation into Lee and others on suspicion of bribery, corrupt hiring practices and personal use of donated goods. 

Lee is accused of ordering the relaxation of job requirements at the Jincheon National Training Center to hire a friend of his daughter’s, bypassing an internal report to lower the applicant’s salary, and replacing an official who opposed his hiring decisions.
