Special prosecutors questioned Kwon Oh-soo Sunday regarding stock manipulation allegations against Kim Keon Hee. The former Deutsch Motors chairman appeared before investigators examining BMW dealer share fraud from 2009 to 2012. Courts sentenced Kwon to suspended jail time alongside eight co-defendants. Kim served as first lady before her husband's presidential removal. Authorities allege she allowed financial accounts to facilitate the scheme.
Another participant named Sohn received Supreme Court conviction for assisting the manipulation. Prosecutors avoided charging Kim while President Yoon held office. Seoul prosecutors transferred the case to special counsel after the convictions. Officials plan to examine Kim's direct participation in securities violations. The investigation continues beyond stock manipulation charges.
Investigators will question former representative Kim Young-sun Monday about nomination interference. The special counsel suspects the couple influenced her 2022 parliamentary candidacy. Kim faces allegations of meddling in general election nominations. Prosecutors scheduled her questioning for Wednesday morning. The probe examines political and financial misconduct.
