Joint Investigation Team Requests Arrest Warrant for Shincheonji Leader Lee Man-hee Over 'Mass Party Membership' Allegations

The joint investigation team of prosecutors and police, which is probing allegations of corruption involving collusion between religion and politics, has moved to secure the detention of Shincheonji leader Lee Man-hee, the central figure in the 'People Power Party mass membership' case.

The joint investigation team requested an arrest warrant for Lee today (June 22) on charges of violating the Political Parties Act and obstruction of business in connection with the case of forced enrollment of Shincheonji members into a specific political party.

The joint investigation team believes that Shincheonji encouraged its followers to join the People Power Party under names such as the 'Pilates Project' for each branch, and that as a result, more than 50,000 followers joined the People Power Party as members.
