SEOUL
South Korean prosecutors have raided LG Group's head office as part of a probe into alleged tax evasion by family members controlling the conglomerate, the prosecutors' office said on Wednesday.
Prosecutors are looking into possible evasion of capital gains tax worth about 10 billion won (6.8 million pounds) in relation to the transfer of shares of an LG affiliate, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said in a text message to reporters.
A spokesman at LG Corp, the group's holding company, had no immediate comment.
The probe into the country's fourth-biggest conglomerate by assets would be the latest in a string of troubles faced by families controlling the country's conglomerates, known as chaebols.
