Prosecution turns down travel ban for former vice minister
By 송상호Published : March 28, 2013 - 21:36
Prosecutors on Thursday rejected a police request to impose an overseas travel ban on Kim Hak-ui, the former vice justice minister involved in an escalating sex-for-favors scandal, news reports said.
Bans against some 10 others implicated in the same scandal were also turned down, according to them.
Police have obtained statements from a woman allegedly hired by a contractor to perform sexual services for the official in 2009 at a country house in Wonju, Gangwon Province. After his name was disclosed by news media last week, he denied having received sexual services in exchange for peddling his influence.
