统一教会领袖韩鹤子在首尔中央地方法院驳回其延长临时健康假释请求后，于周六返回拘留所。这是她自2025年9月因涉嫌向前第一夫人金建希赠送礼物的贿赂罪被捕以来的第二次拘留中止，当时正值对该教会政治影响力的更广泛调查之中。
韩鹤子于2025年9月被捕，并于10月被特别检察官以违反政治资金法罪起诉，包括涉嫌向金建希赠送奢侈项链和Chanel包。她在等待审判期间一直被拘留，此案因政治关联而备受关注。 她于2025年11月首次获得临时释放进行眼科手术。第二次于2026年2月11日批准，允许治疗最近跌倒，但仅限于周六。法院于周五否决延期请求，导致她返回拘留，法律消息人士于周日证实。 韩鹤子此前于2025年9月22日在关于逮捕合法性的听证会上以轮椅出现。她的案件与其他调查重叠，包括2025年12月警方突袭行动，将她列为涉及两大党派政客贿赂调查的嫌疑人。
