South Korean law enforcement authorities executed a sweeping search and seizure operation at the Seoul headquarters of Starbucks Korea on 5 August, sharply escalating an investigation into the Starbucks 'Tank Day' controversy, a marketing campaign that allegedly insulted victims of the nation's pro-democracy movement.
Investigators from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency targeted corporate offices within Gangnam District's Centerfield building, securing internal documents and electronic communications related to the controversial promotional rollout.
