Prosecutors raided Samsung Electronics Co.'s after-services arm Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged sabotaging of labor union activities by its management.

Investigators from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office were sent to search the main building of Samsung Electronics Service and its call center in Suwon, south of the capital, and confiscate evidence, the prosecution office said.

It is the third time the prosecution has carried out a search warrant on the company since it launched an investigation early last month into allegations that the firm has run an organized scheme aimed at hampering the establishment of a labor union and its activities.

One senior official of the Samsung affiliate was arrested early Tuesday on the charge of violating labor laws, while the court turned down the writs for three others allegedly involved.

Prosecutors searched the headquarters and basement storage, as well as its other regional offices, last month to obtain evidence related to human resources affairs. (Yonhap)
