South Korean prosecutors on Monday accused former first lady Kim Keon-hee of “illegally intervening in state affairs,” concluding a six-month investigation into corruption allegations surrounding the wife of ousted ex-President Yoon Suk-yeol, local media reported. South Korea’s former first lady was alleged by prosecutors Monday to have accepted lavish bribes totalling over $200,000, including fine art, jewellery and a handbag, as well as meddling in state affairs. Announcing the final findings, the Special Counsel Min Joong-ki team said Kim had operated “behind the curtains,” according to Yonhap News.
