SEOUL, April 19 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors said Sunday a construction company tried to cover up evidence that might reveal its late chairman bribed politicians, including current Prime Minister Lee Wan-koo.
They said a significant portion of closed-circuit TV footage and computer files at Keangnam Enterprises Inc. appears to have been deleted by the company, allegedly to evade scrutiny.
Sung Wan-jong, who headed Keangnam Enterprises, committed suicide on April 10, leaving behind a note that listed high-ranking politicians with won figures next to each name.
Prosecutors suspect the listed people took money from Sung in return for business favors.
