Ties to South Korea's ex-1st lady examined
-
The leader of the Unification Church, Han Hak-ja, appeared for questioning by prosecutors yesterday over alleged involvement in bribing the wife of ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol as part of a criminal probe into the former first couple.
Ms Han declined to answer questions from reporters about the allegations as she arrived at the office of the special prosecutor.
"I've been unwell," she said, when asked why she had chosen to respond to questioning, after refusing earlier summons.
Ms Han, who is called "True Mother" by followers, is the widow of Unification Church founder Moon Sun-myung, who died in 2012.
