Police Transfer Marks Formal Charge Phase The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency moved Han Hak‑ja, a senior figure in the Unification Church, to the prosecution on December 30, 2025. This action shifts the investigation from a preliminary inquiry to a formal charging process. Authorities indicated the transfer relates to alleged illegal political donations, though no indictment details were released [1].

Han Hak‑ja’s Role Within Unification Church Highlighted Han serves as a key administrator for the church’s political outreach and fundraising operations. Investigators have focused on his involvement in channeling contributions to political candidates, a practice scrutinized after previous donation scandals. The police statement emphasized his central position but omitted his exact title or tenure [1].

Details of Donation Allegations Remain Unspecified The report did not disclose the amount, recipients, or timeline of the purported illegal donations. Prosecutors have not announced a schedule for hearings or potential penalties. Officials promised further information as the case proceeds, leaving the public without concrete figures at this stage [1].
