The Religion-Government Collusion Prosecutors-Police Joint Investigation Headquarters launched a search and seizure on the 6th regarding allegations of embezzlement by Unification Church leader Han Hak-ja, targeting Unification Church facilities and other locations.
The task force dispatched investigators to the Unification Church’s Cheon Jeong Gung, Seoul headquarters, Hyojung Global Unification Foundation, and the residences of church officials, including Han, from the morning to secure relevant materials.
The search and seizure warrants were found to list Unification Church officials, including Han, as suspects in the embezzlement case. The task force is investigating allegations of occupational embezzlement at the Unification Church level. Previously, the task force executed search and seizure warrants twice on Unification Church facilities in January regarding similar allegations. This marks the first time the task force has conducted a forced investigation into Han’s alleged embezzlement.
The task force is examining whether internal funds of the Unification Church were systematically misappropriated to create slush funds for Han. Based on the accounting records and internal documents secured on the day, the task force plans to comprehensively analyze the fund flow and the denomination’s operational structure.
