As part of a widening probe into the Choi Soon-sil scandal, state prosecutors Friday detained Chang Si-ho, Choi’s niece, in Seoul, on charges of embezzling funds from a sports foundation she allegedly controlled.
There have been allegations that the Korea Winter Sports Elite Center was established for Choi and Chang to pocket profits amid the country’s preparation for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics.
Chang, the 36-year-old daughter of Choi’s elder sister Soon-deuk, is considered another key figure in the multifaceted scandal.
Choi, President’s Park’s friend for 40 years, is accused of a wide range of irregularities, such as using her ties to the leader to win favors for her family and close associates.
