Japanese prosecutors have been looking for evidence in the earnings probe against Olympus
Olympus is being probed over its accounting4 practices and the admission that it hid losses.

The issue came to light after former chief executive Michael Woodford claimed he was fired for questioning payments relating to mergers5.

Olympus admitted it hid losses of $1.5bn (£968m) over past two decades.

'New twist'

Last week Olympus filed its revised earning reports with the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

In its latest accounts for the six months to the end of September the company declared a loss of 32.3bn yen6 ($414m; £267m).

It also revised down the value of its net assets to just 46bn yen, down from the 225bn yen it stated in March 2007.

Analysts7 said the raid on its headquarters just days after the filing of the report was a significant development.

"I would suspect that any documents needed by the prosecutors could have been just requested for and delivered by Olympus," Martin Schulz of Fujitsu Research Institute told the BBC.

"But the fact their offices have been raided seems to indicate that there are new developments in the investigation8 that might add a new twist to the story," he added.
