Seoul council chair held in bribery case

The prosecution detained Seoul Metropolitan Council Chairman Kim Myung-soo and raided his office and house on Monday for allegedly taking bribes from a renovation company, sources said.

Kim is suspected of receiving more than 100 million won ($93,109) from Dawon Group president surnamed Lee in return for giving favors in the apartment renovation business in the Seocho district of Seoul.

Kim from the Democratic Party has been chairing the council since June last year.
