その後、韓国メディアはキム氏が逮捕され、大統領経験者の夫妻が初めて同じ時期に逮捕される事態となったと伝えています。
After that, South Korean media reported that Mr. Kim was arrested, making it the first time that a married couple who are both former presidents have been arrested during the same period.
韓国のユン・ソンニョル前大統領のキム・ゴニ夫人をめぐっては旧統一教会=世界平和統一家庭連合の元幹部から知人を通じて高級ブランドのバッグを受け取ったとされるなど、複数の疑惑が指摘されていて、政府から独立して捜査を行う特別検察官がキム氏から事情を聴くなど調べを進めていました。
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol’s wife, Kim Keon-hee, has been the subject of several allegations, including claims that she received a luxury brand bag through an acquaintance from a former executive of the Unification Church Family Federation for World Peace and Unification. In response, a special prosecutor, independent from the government, has been investigating the matter by questioning Ms. Kim and conducting further inquiries.
特別検察官は昨夜遅く、あっせん収賄などの疑いで裁判所に請求していた逮捕状を取ったと発表し、その後、韓国メディアはキム氏が逮捕されたと伝えています。
The special prosecutor announced late last night that they had obtained an arrest warrant from the court on suspicion of bribery and other charges, and afterward, South Korean media reported that Mr. Kim had been arrested.
キム氏は12日、逮捕状を出すかどうか判断するための裁判所の審査に立ち会っていて、韓国メディアによりますとこの中でキム氏の弁護団は疑惑を否定したということです。
Mr. Kim attended a court hearing on the 12th to determine whether an arrest warrant would be issued, and according to South Korean media, his legal team denied the allegations during the proceedings.
一方、ユン前大統領も7月、「非常戒厳」をめぐって特別検察官に逮捕されていて、韓国メディアは大統領経験者の夫妻が初めて同じ時期に逮捕される事態となったと伝えています。
On the other hand, former President Yoon was also arrested by a special prosecutor in July over the issue of emergency martial law, and South Korean media reports that this is the first time a presidential couple has been arrested during the same period.
