Economic Observation Network According to the CCTV News client, the South Korean special prosecution team submitted an application to the Supreme Court of South Korea on the 15th, requesting a new arrest warrant for former President Yoon Suk yeol's wife Kim Jeon hee, so that she can continue to be detained after the current detention period expires.

Jin Jianxi has been involved in multiple cases and has been in custody since August last year. His detention will expire on October 31st. In April of this year, Jin Jianxi was sentenced to four years in prison in the second trial on charges of manipulating stock prices and accepting bribes. The case is still under trial by the Supreme Court, and it is expected that a final judgment will be difficult to be made before the expiration of his detention period. Therefore, the special inspection team applied to the Supreme Court to issue a new arrest warrant to extend the detention period.

In September of this year, the court made a second instance judgment on Jin Jianxi's other suspected case of "selling official titles", sentencing him from 7 years in the first instance to 5 years in prison. At present, the case has been appealed to the Supreme Court. In addition, Jin Jianxi is also involved in multiple other cases.
