Prosecutor General Lee One-seok said Monday that antigraft laws regarding government officials should be revised to include spouses as he signaled his acceptance of a recommendation not to indict first lady Kim Keon Hee in the handbag case.

Another controversy has erupted after the first lady was investigated by the prosecution for her past acceptance of a Dior handbag from a mysterious pastor — even without the knowledge of the prosecutor general.
Prosecutor General Lee One-seok said Friday that the impeachment of prosecutors involved in corruption investigations into former Democratic Party (DP) leader Lee Jae-myung railroaded by the DP was illegal.
President Yoon Suk-yeol named Lee One-seok, deputy chief of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, to his former job as prosecutor general Thursday.
