South Korea’s ex-first lady arrested in bribery probe

The wife of former South Korea president, Yun Suk Yol, was arrested for a group of charges, including the manipulation of stocks and bribery.

The former first lady, Kim Keon, denied all the charges during a four -hour hearing in Seoul on Tuesday. However, the court issued a detention note, indicating the risk of destroying the evidence.

South Korea has a history Former presidents are accused and imprisoned. However, this is the first time that the former president and the former first lady were imprisoned.

Yun was detained in January to confront the trial on a failed offer in the fighting law last year that drowned the country in chaos and eventually led to it.

Prosecutors say that Kim, 52, has achieved more than 800 million winners (577,940 dollars; 428,000 pounds) by participating in a price -flying scheme that includes the shares of Deutch Motors, the BMW merchant in South Korea.

While this had happened before her husband was elected, the country’s leader, but he continued to throw him throughout his presidency.

It was also claimed that she accepted two Chanel bags and diamonds as a brush from the controversial monotheism church in exchange for business preferences.

Among the other charges, Kim is also accused of interfering in the candidates’ nominations during the sub -parliamentary elections in 2022 and public elections last year.

Kim appeared to be a majestic when she attended a session on Tuesday wearing a black suit and a black skirt.

“I am sincerely apologized for causing trouble, although he is an important person,” she told reporters.

While he was president, Yoon objected to three bills led by the opposition, which requested a special investigation into the lawyer in allegations against Kim.

The last veto in November was issued a week before the declaration of martial law.

A private advisor was created in June this year after he became the opponent of Yun Lee Jay Meong as president.
