A probe into the so-called money envelope scandal, involving the justice ministry and the prosecution, is picking up steam.
The special inspection team looking into the case reported yesterday they have completed face-to-face questioning of some 20 related officials and witnesses.
Among them were Ahn Tae-geun, a deputy minister for criminal affairs, and Lee Young-ryeol, chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
They are now reviewing records, including phone logs and bank account transactions to see if there were any violation of relevant laws. ■
