A Seoul district court on Friday acquitted Rep. Kim Gi-hyeon of the People Power Party over a luxury handbag given to former first lady Kim Keon-hee, Yonhap reports. The court found the gift violated the anti-graft law but lacked evidence of Kim's collusion, while his spouse, who purchased the bag, was fined 5 million won, according to Chosun Ilbo and Maeil Business. The case involved the bag as a reward for support in a party leadership election, per Maeil Business.
