Like I have been saying all along, I saw no evidence that Chung Yoo-ra did anything illegal. It appeared from the start that the attempts to arrest her were to put pressure on her mom, Choi Soon-sil to cooperate on implicating former President Park in her allegedly corrupt dealings. With Park currently behind bars and standing trial right now, there is less urgency to use Chung to pressure her mom:
Chung Yoo-ra brought to the district prosecutors office in Seoul. [Chosun Ilbo]A Seoul court on Saturday rejected a prosecution request for the arrest of a daughter of ousted President Park Geun-hye’s friend at the center of a massive corruption scandal that removed the former leader.
