[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The police have arrested a man in his 40s, identified as A, who is suspected of sending threatening emails to Yoon Young-chan, a close aide of former Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Nak-yeon, and have applied for an arrest warrant.


A appeared for a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant hearing) at the Seoul Western District Court on the morning of the 30th.


Yoon's side filed a complaint with the Seoul Mapo Police Station on the 9th of last month, requesting punishment for an unidentified individual calling themselves "Gwangju Iridle for Governor Lee Jae-myung's Election" on charges of intimidation.



The email sent by this individual to Yoon's personal account reportedly included demands for Yoon to withdraw from the campaign, as well as mentions of having tracked the homes and movements of Yoon's family and female staff members at his office, implying potential criminal acts.
