The third investigation of Kim Keon-hee after her arrest concluded after about 3 hours and 18 minutes. The special counsel stated that Kim will be summoned for questioning at 10 a.m. on the 23rd.
According to the special counsel, the investigation started around 2:12 p.m. and concluded at 5:30 p.m. The document review began at 5:58 p.m. and ended at 6:24 p.m.
During this investigation, the document review time was about 26 minutes, shorter than the 35 minutes recorded during the second investigation after her arrest on the 19th. It appears that Kim exercised her right to refuse to testify for the most part, resulting in little dispute over the contents recorded in the document.
The special counsel also stated in a notice that "Kim Keon-hee is scheduled to be summoned and investigated at 10 a.m. on Saturday, the 23rd."
Kim is facing allegations of violating the Political Funds Act for having influenced the nomination of former People Power Party parliament member Kim Young-sun in that year's by-election in exchange for receiving polling results for free 58 times from political broker Myung-tae Kyun during the 2022 presidential election, alongside former President Yoon Suk-yeol.
She is also accused of involvement as a 'money provider' in the 2009-2012 Deutsch Motors stock manipulation case (violating the Capital Markets Act) and receiving high-priced necklaces and requests related to church issues from the Unification Church through former pastor Seong-bae Geon-jin (bribery under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes).
