[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seok-jin, Legal Affairs Specialist] The prosecution arrested one individual involved in the 'Deutsche Motors Stock Manipulation' case, in which Kim Gun-hee, wife of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, is suspected of being involved, on the 6th.

The Anti-Corruption and Strong Investigation Division 2 of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office (Chief Prosecutor Jo Joo-yeon) detained Lee on the same day on charges of violating the Capital Markets and Financial Investment Services Act.

Judge Lee Se-chang, in charge of warrant hearings at the Seoul Central District Court, conducted the pre-arrest suspect interrogation for Lee and issued an arrest warrant around 10:20 p.m., stating, "The criminal charges are substantiated, and there is a risk of evidence tampering."

The prosecution initially requested arrest warrants for another individual named Lee and a person named Kim as well, but Lee was unreachable, and Kim submitted a request to postpone the court date and did not appear.

The unreachable Lee had previously been the subject of a prosecution arrest warrant request that was dismissed by the court. The prosecution plans to secure Lee's custody using a detention order issued by the court.

A new date for Kim's warrant hearing is expected to be scheduled.
