Ex-PM Han under probe again


Former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook


Prosecutors are investigating a brother of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook for alleged bribe-taking from a businessman in what is seen as a step to reopen their probe of a bribery case involving the ex-premier.

Investigators are also considering seeking an opinion from a "grand jury," to be established as part of its recent reform measures, before deciding whether to indict her for allegedly taking illegal political funds from the now-jailed businessman who owns a construction company.

According to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, Wednesday, investigators have found that in 2009 Han's brother paid for key housing rental money with a 100 million won ($83,000) check, which was issued in 2007 by Han Man-ho, the president of the now-bankrupt Hansin Construction in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. The prosecution has been tracing his bank account records.
