Danish Authorities Suspend Extradition of Chung Yoo-ra
It is looking like whatever evidence Korean prosecutors have against Chung Yoo-ra it must be quite flimsy considering Denmark has suspended the ROK extradition request:
South Korea’s special prosecutors said Saturday that they will send documents requested by Danish authorities concerning the daughter of a woman at the center of a snowballing corruption scandal as soon as possible to speed up her repatriation.
Chung Yoo-ra, the 21-year-old daughter of President Park Geun-hye’s close friend Choi Soon-sil, was arrested in the northern Danish city of Aalborg earlier this year for illegal stay. She is suspected of receiving favors from a college in Seoul during its admissions process and on tests by taking advantage of her mother’s ties to the president.
Chung has been in the custody of Danish authorities and has showed no sign of voluntarily coming back home to face a probe.
South Korea’s special prosecutors looking into the alleged corruption scandal surrounding the president and Choi earlier asked local authorities to extradite Chung.
After weeks of review, the Danish prosecution released a statement on Friday that they suspended the repatriation process and asked South Korea to send extra information before making a final decision. [Yonhap]

Who knew, being related to someone is not a crime. The more I see about this whole this the more I believe just another small incident blown up by the leftist and nKorean agents.
How long before Seoul ask the authorities in Denmark, “How can you allow her to stay there when our government invalidated her passport?”
Or maybe Seoul is afraid that Denmark will say, “You invalidated her passport under false pretenses, so we are still going to recognize it.”
@guitard, I think the Danes do not want to play a part in the political prosecution of Chung which this appears to be. We have yet to see any evidence of corruption or illegal activity by Chung. If the ROK prosecutors had evidence they would have presented it to the Danes by now.
All we have learned is that Chung is a spoiled rich kid that likes to ride horses that rebelled against her mom.
