검찰, ‘개인비리’ 포스코P&S 압수수색
검찰이 16일 오전 9시 30분께 포스코의 자회사인 포스코P&S를 압수수색했다고 밝혔다.울산지검 특수부(박종근 부장검사)는 이날 서울 강남구 역삼동 테헤란로에 위치한 포스코P&S 본사로 수사진을 보내 사무실에서 철강 거래와 관련한 각종 자료 및 컴퓨터 하드디스크, 회계 장부 등을 확보한 것으로 알려졌다.검찰은 포스코 그룹 전반에 대한 조사가 아닌 자회사 포스코P&S의 간부에 대한 개인 비리 수사라고 강조했다.하지만 포스코P&S의 핵심 사업이 철강 가공·판매와 비철소재 가공사업, 자원 리사이클링 등 철강업 전반에 관련돼 매출의 대부분이 포스코와 연관된 점을 고려하면 앞으로 경과에 따라 수사가 확대될 가능성도 있다.포스코는 이미 지난해 9월 세무조사에서 자회사들과의 거래 과정에서 탈세나 위법 행위가 없는지 조사 받았다. 국세청은 이달 중으로 조사를 끝내고 법인 과징금 및 경영진에 대한 벌금 부과 등의 제재 방안과 수위 등을 검토하는 것으로 알려졌다.서울지방국세청은 포스코가 철강 거래 중
