SEOUL, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — The Seoul Central District Court has issued an arrest warrant for Kim Gun-hee, the wife of former South Korean President Yoon Seok-yol, who is in custody on charges of sedition and other crimes, the special prosecutor's team in charge of her case said Tuesday evening.
The court issued the warrant at the request of the special prosecutor's team based on charges of violating the capital market law, the political fund law and the bribery by intermediary law. The court explained that the measure was aimed at preventing Kim Gun-hee from destroying evidence.
Kim Gun-hee was placed under arrest at the South Seoul Detention Center, where she was awaiting a court decision after attending a hearing on her detention.
This case became the first in the country's constitutional history when a former presidential couple found themselves in custody at the same time.
Yun Seok-yeol has been held in a separate detention center since July 10 on charges of rebellion related to his brief imposition of martial law last December.
Kim Kun-hee, in turn, is suspected of involvement in stock price manipulation, interference in the nomination of candidates for the 2022 parliamentary by-elections, and receiving expensive gifts from the Unification Church in exchange for business favors. –0–
