The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a new arrest warrant for jailed former first lady Kim Keon-hee, extending her detention for two more months beyond October, citing the risk of flight and destroying evidence (Korea Times). The decision came after a hearing where Kim spoke for about 15 minutes arguing for her release (KBS World). The ruling Democratic Party separately decided to seek a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, with some hardliners calling for his impeachment, a move denounced by the opposition People Power Party (Yonhap, KBS World).
