Prosecutors are seeking to arrest Lee Jae-myung on corruption charges. Read more at straitstimes.com.
SEOUL - A South Korean court rejected an arrest warrant for the leader of the main political opposition party on graft charges, a move that could embolden the political heavyweight before a national election in April.
His appearance marked the first time a South Korean opposition leader has faced a court hearing for an arrest warrant, the Yonhap News Agency said. Some Democratic Party members are concerned Lee has become a liability and may not be able to focus his attention on the election, where his group is facing a challenge from President Yoon Suk-yeol’s conservative party, which is battling to regain a majority in Parliament.Several members of Lee’s party broke ranks and voted last week to allow the warrant to go forward.Lee’s party has 168 seats in the 300-seat National Assembly, while Mr Yoon’s People Power Party holds 111.
