South Korean investigators have requested an arrest warrant for Kim Keon Hee, wife of jailed former President Yoon Suk Yeol, over allegations including bribery, stock manipulation, and political interference. Kim was questioned for seven hours on Wednesday and is accused of receiving gifts and influencing political nominations. Her husband, Yoon, resisted attempts for questioning related to her case for the second time in a week, the Associated Press has reported. The probe is one of three investigations launched under new liberal President Lee Jae Myung, following Yoon’s removal from office and arrest over his brief imposition of martial law in December.
