A sister-in-law of Rep. Park Geun-hye, the ruling Saenuri Party’s presidential candidate, has left her posts at a law firm and the nation’s land and housing firm.
Seo Hyang-hee, wife of the presidential candidate’s younger brother Park Ji-man, resigned as a representative lawyer at law firm Sebit and a legal adviser for the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), the state-run land and housing developer.
Seo worked as a legal adviser for two years for Samhwa Savings Bank before it went bankrupt in 2011. She and her husband have been accused of influence peddling in return for bribes from the then ill-fated savings bank.
Seo is said to have made the decision not to become a burden for Rep. Park, who is running for the presidency in December, sources said.
She reportedly submitted her resignation at the law firm around mid-August, and notified LH that she will step down Thursday.
