Jeoncheongjo, Arrest and Communication Warrant Issued... "Concern Over Non-Appearance"
An arrest warrant has been issued for Jeon Cheong-jo (27), who broke up with former female national fencing representative Nam Hyun-hee (42).
On the 31st, Shin Hyun-il, chief judge of the Seoul Eastern District Court, issued an arrest warrant for Jeon, who was requested for an arrest warrant on charges of fraud and attempted fraud, stating, "There is a concern that he may fail to appear." One of the two search warrants and seizure warrants was also issued. The other seizure warrant was partially dismissed.
The Songpa Police Station in Seoul applied for an arrest warrant, a communication warrant, and a seizure warrant for Jeon on the previous day on charges of fraud and attempted fraud. On the 25th, Kim Min-seok, a member of the Seoul Gangseo District Council, filed a complaint against Jeon on charges of fraud and attempted fraud based on a tip that "Jeon induced loans by checking credit ratings and interest rates through a loan brokerage platform."
