South Korean prosecutors have requested an arrest warrant for former first lady Kim Keon Hee, whose husband, South Korea’s former president Yoon Suk Yeol, is still in detention over his declaration of martial law in December.
The request came after the former first lady underwent hours-long questioning the day before.
She was questioned following allegations of bribery and stock manipulation, however she denied the allegations.
She is also being accused of interfering in the nomination process for Member of Parliaments in her husbands’ party, which is a violation of election laws.
Reports say if the arrest warrant is granted, it would mark the first time in South Korean history that a former president and first lady were both arrested.
