Prosecutors Determine Mrs. Kim Geon-hee's Undue Profit at 810 Million Won
The special investigation team looking into allegations related to Mrs. Kim Geon-hee (Special Prosecutor Min Joong-ki) reportedly specified the undue profit obtained through stock manipulation by Deutsche Motors as approximately 810 million won in a warrant for her arrest.
According to the legal community on the 8th, the special investigation team has applied the charge of violating the Capital Markets Act, asserting that Mrs. Kim was involved as a 'financial backer' during stock manipulation from 2009 to 2012.

The special investigation team concluded that Mrs. Kim participated in market price manipulation by placing over 3,700 trading orders, including collusive transactions. She has been categorized not merely as an accessory but as a conspirator. During a face-to-face investigation on the 6th, they presented recordings indicating that, at the time of the second stock manipulation, she entrusted a securities account under conditions that would yield a profit of over 40% to Black Pearl Investment; however, it was reported that Mrs. Kim denied knowledge of the stock manipulation.
Allegations of Receiving High-Value Goods from the Unification Church and Free Public Opinion Polls
The arrest warrant also includes allegations that Mrs. Kim conspired with Jeon Seong-bae to receive high-value items such as diamond necklaces and Chanel bags from the Unification Church. The special investigation team believes that Yoon, the former global head of the Unification Church, provided these items through Jeon from April to August 2022 while soliciting church-related matters. However, Mrs. Kim denied this, stating, "I have never received anything."
Jeon claimed to have received the necklace and two Chanel bags but stated he did not pass them on to Mrs. Kim. Nonetheless, the special investigation team concluded, based on conversations with Yoon, that Mrs. Kim and Jeon were in a conspiratorial relationship as they both received solicitations.
Furthermore, it has also been alleged that Mrs. Kim received over 50 illegal public opinion polls for free from political broker Myung-tae Kwon. The special investigation team believes that after receiving public opinion polls worth approximately 270 million won, she was involved in the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun in the June 1 by-election.

Evidence Destruction Circumstances and Promises of Support from 'Yun Haek-kwan'
The special investigation emphasized the necessity of arresting Mrs. Kim, asserting that she fully denies the allegations and is likely to evade the investigation due to frequent hospitalizations.
Particularly, they highlighted that after the ruling of former President Yoon's impeachment in April, Mrs. Kim changed her mobile phone and did not provide the password for the new device, indicating potential evidence destruction.
The arrest warrant also includes testimony stating that Yoon expressed intentions to "support the candidacy of Yoon Seok-youl" to lawmakers like Kwon Seong-dong during the presidential election, and in return, demanded the national promotion of Unification Church policies. It is reported that Yoon testified to the special investigation team that he conveyed money to lawmakers, including Kwon, with the approval of the Unification Church leader Han Hak-ja since 2021.
