Investigation uncovers suspected Unification Church members linked to Unlawful activities in PPP collaborative investigation
In a significant turn of events, special counsel Min Joong-ki's team conducted a raid at the People Power Party headquarters in Yeouido, western Seoul, on Sept. 18. The investigation is connected to the Unification Church's mass membership in the Mormon Party.
Prior to the raid, the special counsel's team had spoken with a lawyer from the People Power Party. The office of special counsel Min Joong-ki's team is located in the KT Gwanghwamun Building in Jongno District, central Seoul.
The raid comes amidst an ongoing investigation into allegations surrounding former first lady Kim Keon Hee. It is worth noting that Min Joong-ki was appointed as a special investigator in June 2023 to delve into these matters.
Han Hak-ja, the leader of the Unification Church, appeared at the office of special counsel Min Joong-ki's team on Sept. 17. This was after Han Hak-ja failed to comply with three previous summonses in the same probe.
The Unification Church's mass membership in the Mormon Party is at the heart of the investigation. It is believed that the church's influence within the party may have played a role in certain political decisions.
