Overview

• Kim Keon Hee was indicted under detention on charges including violations of the Capital Market Act and Political Funds Act and accepting bribes for mediation.
• Her custody was secured two days before her pretrial arrest expired, allowing up to six more months of detention as investigators pursue related allegations.
• Han Duck-soo was indicted without detention on counts of abetting the ringleader of an insurrection, perjury, and falsifying and destroying official documents.
• A Seoul court rejected the special counsel’s bid to arrest Han, citing low risks of flight and evidence destruction and noting room for legal dispute over key facts.
• Prosecutors say Han sought procedural legitimacy for the decree by pushing a Cabinet meeting, drafted then destroyed a revised proclamation, and lied under oath, while Yoon remains jailed on insurrection charges and has skipped six consecutive trial hearings.
