South Korea's former first lady has been arrested over a string of charges including stock manipulation and bribery. Kim Keon Hee, 52, denied all charges against her during a court hearing on Tuesday that lasted four hours. The Seoul court issued a warrant to detain her late in the day, citing risks that she may destroy evidence otherwise.

Investigators are seeking to charge Kim over alleged crimes in one of three probes launched under Seoul’s new liberal government, targeting the presidency of Yoon, a conservative who was removed from office in April.
