Moon Da-hye (41), the daughter of former South Korean President, Moon Jae-in, was reportedly caught driving under the influence at a level that would lead to license cancellation.
Moon is currently facing a summons for questioning by prosecutors regarding allegations of preferential hiring involving her ex-husband, Mr. Seo, at T'way Air.
According to a report by the 'JoongAng Ilbo' on the 5th, Seoul's Yongsan Police Station booked Moon on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act (drunk driving).
The report states that around 3 a.m. that day, Moon was driving a Casper vehicle in a drunken state near the Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon, Seoul. While changing lanes, she collided with a taxi that was following her.
The taxi driver, who was affected by the collision, reportedly suffered minor damage.
A police breathalyzer test showed Moon's blood alcohol level was 0.14%, which is above the 0.08% threshold for license cancellation.
Moon is expected to appear for police questioning at Yongsan Police Station on the morning of the 7th.
South Korean prosecutors are investigating former President Moon Jae-in for potential involvement in a bribery case, alleging his former son-in-law (Mr. Seo) received preferential hiring at T'way Air in exchange for facilitating a key government appointment for the airline's founder. The Jeonju District Prosecutor’s Office initiated a search of Moon’s daughter, Moon Da-hye's home on August 30, following complaints filed four years ago regarding the hiring of her then-husband, Mr. Seo, who has since divorced her.
On the 2nd, in relation to allegations about Seo's hiring and Moon's family’s relocation to Thailand, the prosecution conducted digital forensics at the Digital Forensic Center of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, which included an analysis of Moon's mobile phone and other seized items.
