Special counsel summons ex-first lady Kim for 3rd questioning on Thursday

Former first lady Kim Keon Hee, who's accused of violating the Political Funds Act, will once again appear for questioning before a special counsel team on Thursday.

Kim is set to appear for questioning at 2 PM, for her third summons since her arrest last week.

She was originally scheduled to appear on Wednesday, but requested a one-day delay, citing health issues.

Thursday's questioning is expected to center on allegations of her receiving luxury gifts from the Unification Church through a shaman in exchange for business favors.

With several issues under investigation, prosecutors have sought and obtained court approval to extend Kim's detention until August 31st.
