South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol was impeached by the National Assembly due to the martial law controversy, and his presidency has been suspended. Just as Yoon Seok-yeol was besieged, his cronies also became targets of law enforcement agencies.
According to South Korean media reports, the virtual asset crime joint investigation team of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office arrested Jeon Seong-bae, a 64-year-old man with the Buddhist name "Geon Jin" (Geon Jin) on the morning of the 17th, and searched his residence.
The report stated that Jeon Seong-bae was suspected of accepting illegal political funds from multiple politicians on the grounds of "assisting in the election" during the 2018 local elections, violating the Political Funds Act and other crimes. This case was accidentally revealed when the prosecutors were investigating another case, but the relevant reports did not explain whether the case involving Jeon Seong-bae was related to Yoon Seok-yeol.
