Denmark arrests woman wanted over South Korea corruption scandal
The daughter of disgraced President Park Geun-hye’s long-time friend has been arrested in Denmark in connection with the huge political corruption scandal that has rocked South Korea.

Ms Park was impeached last month by MPs amid public fury over prosecutors’ claims that she conspired to allow her confidante, Choi Soon-sil, to extort companies and control the government.
Prosecutors said on Monday that police in Denmark arrested Ms Choi’s daughter, Chung Yoo-ra, at the weekend on suspicion of staying there illegally.

South Korea had asked Interpol to search for Ms Chung because she did not return home to answer questions about the scandal.
