In the ongoing Unification Church politician bribery investigation, police questioned former chief of staff Jeong Won-ju as a witness on December 18, following leader Han Hak-ja's interrogation the previous day. The probe centers on cash and luxury watches allegedly given to former Oceans Minister Chun Jae-soo and other politicians.
Following police raids and a special counsel investigation, the prosecution and police have formed a joint team led by Kim Tae-hoon of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office to probe bribery allegations between the Unification Church and politicians from both major parties.

Prosecutors on Thursday demanded a life sentence for Tetsuya Yamagami, the man on trial for the fatal shooting of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2022. Yamagami has admitted to the murder, citing his grudge against the Unification Church due to his mother's large donations that led to his family's financial ruin. The ruling is set for January 21.
