South Korea’s court on Wednesday rejected an arrest warrant request filed by prosecutors against opposition leader and former presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung over corruption charges.
The Seoul Central District Court has denied the prosecutors’ request to arrest the Democratic Party leader, citing the absence of a clear risk that Mr. Lee might tamper with evidence.
