SEOUL, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The leader of the Unification Church, Han Hak-ja, appeared for questioning by prosecutors on Wednesday over alleged involvement in bribing the wife of ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol as part of a criminal probe into the former first couple. After more than 9 hours, Han left the prosecutor’s office in a wheelchair, passing through a media scrum. She denied the allegations, and responded strongly “No!” when asked if she ordered bribery.
