Kim Geon-hee, whose arrest is about to expire... Supreme Court interrogates additional warrant for 'selling magic' on the 27th

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-seop = The Supreme Court will hold a hearing on the 27th on whether to further arrest First Lady Kim Kun-hee, whose arrest is about to expire.

According to the legal community on the 22nd, the 2nd Division of the Supreme Court (Chief Justice Oh Gyeong-mi), which is hearing the appeal of Ms. Kim's alleged 'selling magic' case, will hold an arrest warrant hearing at 2:30 pm on the 27th.

Previously, on the 15th, Special Prosecutor Min Joong-ki's team submitted a request to the Supreme Court to issue an additional arrest warrant for Ms. Kim.

Mrs. Kim was arrested for three major suspicious cases (Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation, Myung Tae-gyun opinion poll, and Unification Church bribery).

In this case, the second trial was sentenced on April 28, but the sentencing was postponed as the Supreme Court referred the case to the plenary body for review of the suspicions of the 'Myeong Tae-gyun public opinion poll'.

As it was predicted that it would be difficult to issue a sentence before the 31st of this month, when the arrest expires, the special prosecutor's team requested that the appellate court in the sale magic case issue an additional arrest warrant to avoid release.
