The Special Prosecutor's Team began an investigation, Monday, into who created the media control and measures for winning the next election documents found at the home of Lee Su-dong, the former permanent director of the Kim Dae-jung Peace Foundation for the Asia-Pacific Region. A source said prosecutors believe that Lee himself did not write the material, and instead are focusing on researchers at the foundation and media related civil servants.
The SPT has tentatively decided the documents were created early last year when the "media reform" plan was underway as the report stressed "completeness of reform to strengthen government rule."
The team summoned Lee Su-dong and questioned him on who created the documents and why he held on to them, and about suspicions he had intervened in business appointments.
