SEOUL, Oct. 21 (Yonhap) -- A special counsel team on Wednesday raided the home of a former National Election Commission (NEC) chief over allegations he took an improper overseas trip during his time in office.

Investigators from special counsel Lee Tae-han's team searched Roh Tae-ak's home and seized a cell phone and other evidence as part of their probe into various alleged irregularities at the election watchdog.

The team said it launched the raid after detecting falsehoods in official reports written by an NEC employee on the outcome of Roh's trip.

A separate search was conducted at the NEC headquarters in the morning, it said.

首尔，10 月 21 日（韩联社）——周三，一个特别检察官小组突击搜查了前国家选举委员会（NEC）主席的住所，原因是有人指控他在任职期间进行了不正当的海外访问。

特别检察官李泰汉的调查小组搜查了卢泰岳的住所，并查获了一部手机和其他证据，作为对选举监督机构各种涉嫌违规行为调查的一部分。

该团队表示，他们之所以发起突击搜查，是因为发现NEC一名员工撰写的关于卢武铉访问结果的官方报告中存在虚假信息。

声明称，当天上午对NEC总部进行了单独搜查。
