Korean Media Locates Hotel that Chung Yoo-ra Had Previously Stayed At In Germany
|I wonder how much of news story the search for Chung Yoo-ra is in Germany? I scanned through various English language German news sites and could find no articles describing the search for Chung. It seems as long as the search for Chung does not become a major national news story in Germany she should be able to hide out pretty effectively from the Korean media searching for her:
As Korean prosecutors search for Chung Yoo-ra to question her over how much she benefited from the corruption scandal involving her mother Choi Soon-sil and President Park Geun-hye, it was reported that Chung had abandoned more than 10 pets at her German home before fleeing.
Chung reportedly stayed at a luxury hotel in the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, some 140 kilometers south of Frankfurt, from late November until early December. She did not have her 10 large dogs and a cat with her, according to TV Chosun.
“It appears that she abandoned her pets because carrying them will make her more noticeable to public eyes while on the run,” the report said, after reporters visited the hotel’s most expensive suite that Chung paid 300,000 won ($248) a day for. [Korea Times]

This link might be useful. It’s in German, so I guess that means that some German media are following the Korean case.
Translated by Google, the headline and subhead read:
“Further arrest in the South Korean corruption scandal
Not only the close friend of South Korea’s temporarily disempowered President Park Geun Hye is suspected of having profited too much from the relationship. Now her daughter was also arrested.”
The first couple lines, translated:
“Chung Yoo Ra, the daughter of President-in-Chief Choi Soon Sil, was arrested in the Danish city of Aalborg. She should have been illegally resident in Denmark, her visa had expired.”
Pardon the awkward grammar, but you get the point.
