It has been confirmed that prosecutors investigating allegations that Jeonseongbae, known as "Geonjin Beopsa," received valuables from the Unification Church for the purpose of gifting them to First Lady Kim Keonhee, have imposed a travel ban on Han Hakja, the leader of the Unification Church.
According to the legal community on May 22, the Virtual Asset Crime Joint Investigation Team at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office, led by Chief Prosecutor Park Geonwook, recently imposed a travel ban on Han Hakja.
Although Han Hakja currently has the status of a reference witness, it is known that prosecutors are not ruling out the possibility of changing her status to that of a suspect.
Prosecutors are investigating whether Yoon, the global head of the Unification Church, gave Jeonseongbae a luxury diamond necklace worth around 60 million won and a Chanel bag in 2022, under the pretext of gifts for First Lady Kim Keonhee, while making various requests related to Unification Church matters.
In particular, during the process of examining whether the Unification Church was behind Yoon's requests, it has been reported that prosecutors suspect Han Hakja may have been involved.
