A group of investigators searched the divisions in charge of factory construction and accounting at the company headquarters in Sacheon, 437 kilometers south of Seoul, the officials said.
The search is separate from an ongoing investigation into the allegations that some of its top officials manipulated expenses for defense projects, including developing a utility helicopter known as the Surion, to gain illicit profits. (Yonhap)
