A Serious Look

Prosecutors raided Friday the support offices of 12 ruling and opposition party lawmakers known to have illegally received more than 10 million won (9,025 U.S. dollars) in political funds from the National Private Security Guards Friendship Council. Rep. Kang Ki-jung (left) of the main opposition Democratic Party, whose office in Gwangju`s Buk district was raided, looks serious while talking to party floor leader Park Jie-won at the National Assembly`s plenary hall.
