Seoul: A special counsel team in South Korea on Tuesday said it will extend its investigation into corruption allegations surrounding former first lady Kim Keon Hee by 30 days.
The team led by special counsel Min Joong-ki said the extension will be effective on Wednesday and comply with the relevant law that allows a 30-day extension at his discretion, Yonhap news agency reported.
Min's team has been widening its probe of Kim, the wife of South Korea's former President Yoon Suk Yeol, since indicting her last month on charges of corruption and bribery.
The special counsel team said it has summoned an official on a school violence committee involved in imposing a 10-day suspension on the daughter.
Special counsel Min Joong-ki's team had requested the warrant last week on charges of violations of the Political Funds Act and the anti-graft law, subornation of evidence, destruction and embezzlement.
