Investigators Attempt to Invalidate Passport of former First Lady’s Butler in Order to Detain Him
Investigators clearly want to get their hands on the former first lady’s butler in order to put pressure on him to turn on Kim Keon-hee in an effort to arrest her. Jailing her is payback and revenge for what Yoon’s prosecutors did against the left wing politician Cho Kuk that saw him and his wife receive jail sentences:
A local court on Wednesday issued a detention warrant for a close aide of former first lady Kim Keon Hee amid growing suspicions that he evaded the special counsel’s probe into multiple allegations surrounding Kim.
The warrant was issued against Kim Ye-seong, known as the former first lady’s “butler” or close aide, due to concerns that he might ignore summons from investigative authorities without valid reasons, according to the special counsel team led by Min Joong-ki.
Kim is believed to have fled to Vietnam in April and has refused to comply with the special counsel’s summons.
Following the court’s decision, the special counsel is expected to move swiftly to invalidate Kim’s passport.
The aide is suspected of receiving 18 billion won (US$13.1 million) in dubious investments from several companies through his rental car company IMS in 2023.

Stalinist tactics.
It’s baffling that @GIKorea and @setnaffa can’t see past their right-wing bias to acknowledge the corruption surrounding Kim Keon Hee — corruption that, I might add, helped bring down their cherished Yoon Seok Yeol government.
