SEOUL—South Korea’s former first lady Kim Keon Hee has been arrested after a court late on Tuesday issued a warrant to arrest her following accusations of graft that she denies, a special prosecutor leading a wide-reaching probe said.
Kim is South Korea’s only former first lady to be arrested, joining her husband, former President Yoon Suk Yeol, in jail as he faces trial following his ouster in April over a botched bid to impose martial law in December.
