Wife of Former Presidential Candidate Questioned By Police Over Government Credit Card Fraud
I thought the accusations against Lee Jae-myung’s wife would just go away after the election, but it appears investigators must have some really good evidence to go after her like this:
The wife of former ruling party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung was grilled by police Tuesday about allegations related to her personal use of a provincial government corporate credit card years ago.
Kim Hye-kyung left the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency in Suwon, 50 kilometers south of Seoul, at about 6:50 p.m. after undergoing five hours of questioning, accompanied by her lawyer.
Upon emerging from the police agency, she was asked by reporters about whether she admitted to suspicions related to her corporate credit card use but did not reply.
Kim is accused of using a credit card of the Gyeonggi government for personal shopping and eating, while her husband was Gyeonggi governor from 2018-2021.
She is also suspected of forcing civil servants to run her personal errands, such as getting drug prescriptions, buying prescription drugs on her behalf and paying for meals at restaurants.
Allegations of Kim’s corporate credit card misuse and other misconduct surfaced early this year ahead of the March 9 presidential election.

It is interesting that GIKorea keeps posting news that shows the wife of Lee Jae-Myung in a not so ideal light, but chooses to look the other way when the wife of current President is involved in security leaks

There is also naivety on GIKorea’s part as can be seen in the following statement
but it appears investigators must have some really good evidence to go after her like this:
Of course the investigatiors can go after her like this. Yoon is in charge and they have cover to go after her like this.
