The Envelopes, Please

To investigate bribery allegations against former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook, an onsite inspection is conducted for the first time Monday on the first floor of the official residence of the prime minister in Seoul`s Samcheong district. With her arms folded, Han (right) looks at former Korea Express CEO Kwak Young-wook (in wheelchair), who describes his claim of having left an envelope of money at the residence. Kwak said it took him 15 seconds to leave one envelope filled with 20,000 U.S. dollars and another containing 30,000 dollars on the chair where he sat.
