The 82-year-old leader of the Unification Church was arrested in South Korea early Tuesday as investigators probe allegations that the church bribed the wife of jailed former president Yoon Suk Yeol and a conservative lawmaker. Han Hak-ja, the widow of the church’s South Korean founder, Sun Myung Moon, has denied allegations that she directed church officials to bribe Yoon’s wife, Kim Keon Hee, and the lawmaker. A self-proclaimed messiah who preached new interpretations of the Bible and conservative family values, founder Moon built the Unification Church into an international movement with millions of followers and extensive business interests. Former first lady Kim was arrested and charged last month on allegations including bribery, stock manipulation and meddling in the selection of a legislative candidate. The suspicions include accepting luxury gifts through an intermediary from a Unification Church official who allegedly sought various business favours, including the church’s participation in a Cambodian development project.
