Prosecutors asked a former senior secretary to President Moon Jae-in to appear for questioning next week over bribery suspicions, officials said Friday, as they consider seeking another arrest warrant for him after an earlier request was rejected.
Jun Byung-hun, former senior presidential secretary for political affairs, has been summoned to appear at the Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office on Monday, officials said.
Jun is accused of forcing Lotte Homeshopping, a local home shopping channel, to donate 330 million won ($303,700) in 2015 to the Korea e-Sports Association, of which he was the then-chief.
