This caused the company to pull out of a stock market share sale worth as much as $4.5bn.

Shares in both the chemical and confectionary group have fallen sharply since Friday's raid.

People familiar with the matter told Reuters that Friday's raids, which involved about 200 prosecutors and investigators, were part of an investigation into a possible slush fund, although the Seoul prosecutors office could not be reached for comment.
