   On Saturday morning, prosecutors confiscated desktop computers and documents from the homes and offices of former and current presidential aides as part of the investigation into the influence-peddling scandal involving Park's longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil.

   However, Cheong Wa Dae plans to submit the necessary documents instead of allowing prosecutors inside to investigate in the ongoing probe. (Yonhap)
