Police on Friday raided the Seoul headquarters of KB Financial Group Inc. over the suspected rigging of an online poll on whether to allow its Chairman Yoon Jong-kyoo to serve another term.

Six investigators searched the office of the company's human resources division and confiscated computer hard discs and other materials to gather evidence, the police said.

The investigation was initiated after the company's labor union filed a complaint in September, arguing that the company had intervened in the process of the union conducting a survey of its members on whether to allow Yoon to stay in the post.
