International Olympic Committee vice president Kim Un-Yong was arrested in Seoul on Wednesday on charges of bribery, embezzlement and other irregularities, court officials said.
The 72-year-old South Korean sports czar was put behind bar
shortly after the Seoul District Court approved his pre-trial
detention after midnight.
"The court judge has just issued an arrest warrant for him," said an official at the court where Kim Un-Yong was taken to detention facilities on the southern outskirts of Seoul.
