Former DB Group chairman Kim Jun-ki, accused of sexually assaulting domestic workers and harassing his secretary, was arrested.

The deputy judge of the Seoul Central District Court, Myung-Jae-Kwon, issued a arrest warrant on July 26, saying, “There is a fear of extinction of evidence.”

"The majority of the crimes are alleged and allegedly serious."

Earlier, the police applied for a warrant for the arrest of former President Kim on charges of rape and assault.

Kim is accused of sexually assaulting and sexually harassing domestic helpers who worked at his villa from February 2016 to January 2017, and accused of sexually harassing his secretary in February-July 2017.

Kim, who has been in the United States since July 2017 for the treatment of diseases, resigned from his post in September of suspicion of sexual harassment.

The following year, in January 2018, domestic helper sued Kim, but he stayed in the United States every six months, avoiding police investigations.

However, the police returned home at dawn on the 23rd of two years and three months after the police invalidated Kim's passport and redeemed the International Criminal Police Agency (ICPO, Interpol), and then asked the Ministry of Justice to request the extradition.

Seoul Suseo Police, which investigates the case, was arrested at Incheon International Airport and transferred to the police for investigation.

Kim denied the reporters who met at Incheon Airport when he returned home.
