The allegations follow raids by prosecutors on the offices of investigative outlet Newstapa and broadcaster JTBC. The search-and-seizure operations, in which prosecution officials confiscated documents and other materials, were connected to a report the two published that accused President Yoon Suk Yeol of involvement in a real estate corruption case.
