Special counsel Min Joong-ki's team on Thursday indicted Rep. Kweon Seong-dong of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) on charges of violating the political fund law after he was put under arrest on Sept. 16. Kweon is accused of receiving 100 million won ($71,360) in illegal political funds from a former Unification Church official in January 2022 after being asked to help the church gain various favors from the government after the presidential election of then PPP candidate Yoon Suk Yeol. The special counsel team is also investigating allegations that Kweon relayed Unification Church leader Han Hak-ja information on a police investigation into her alleged overseas gambling and received cash from her between February and March 2022. The special counsel team also indicted a land ministry official over suspected involvement in a controversial expressway project allegedly rerouted to benefit the family of former first lady Kim. The official is accused of accepting 35 million won and gifts from a businessman during the contractor selection process for the Seoul-Yangpyeong expressway project.
