France to hand over daughter of Sewol's late owner to Korea
By KH디지털2Published : March 9, 2016 - 10:24
The daughter of the late South Korean shipping tycoon blamed for 2014 ferry disaster has been ruled by a French court to be extradited to South Korea, court records showed Tuesday.
The decision on Yoo Byung-eun's eldest daughter, Som-na, came about two years after she was arrested in France in May 2014.
She is wanted on a string of corruption charges and other alleged irregularities that are believed to have contributed to the sinking of the 6,825-ton ferry off the southwestern coat, which left 304 people dead. Most of the deaths involved high school students on a field trip to Jeju Island.
