Kim Joon-hee's wife apologizes for the first time over designer bag issue... ”I'm sorry for causing concern to the people” = South Korea
Kim Gun-Hee, the wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, has issued a statement to the public through her lawyer regarding the so-called "brand bag transfer issue" currently under investigation by the prosecution.
Choi Ji Woo, the lawyer representing Kim, said on the 25th that she was willing to apologize.
On the YouTube channel of the Daily Newspaper, "Lee Dong-jae's News Cabinet," Kim said, "(Mrs. Kim) has never expressed any opinions to the public, but in the records before she was investigated,
"Although the details were not included in the report, I said, 'I'm sorry for causing concern to the people,' and participated in the investigation sincerely," he said.
"It was not an easy situation for me to apologize, but it is my heartfelt apology," he added. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office also recently summoned Mrs. Kim privately at a third location.
Regarding the controversy surrounding the investigation, he said, "This is a case for which there are no sanctions, and for the first time in constitutional history, a sitting First Lady was interrogated face-to-face.
In such cases, it is customary to conduct interrogations only through written documents, but in a situation where there was no legal basis for compulsory summons and the prosecution was unable to send a summons, Mrs. Kim actively cooperated and conducted face-to-face interrogations at a third location.
"I conducted an investigation," he said. Kim was subjected to intense interrogation for nearly 12 hours, but only took one break during the investigation.
Attorney Choi said, "The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has made a lot of preparations for the investigation.
Prior to this, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's Anti-Corruption Investigation Division 2 and Criminal Division 1 held a hearing on the 20th at 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm to confirm the facts, and the First Lady responded sincerely."
The questioning of Kim was conducted face-to-face for approximately 11 hours and 50 minutes regarding allegations of manipulation of Deutsche Motors stock prices and the transfer of designer bags.
This is the first time that a sitting first lady has been questioned in person by prosecutors.
It becomes.
