Moon's daughter indicted over alleged drunk driving, illegal Airbnb business
SEOUL, Feb. 5 (Yonhap) -- Prosecutors on Wednesday indicted former President Moon Jae-in's daughter without physical detention over alleged drunk driving and illegally operating a house-sharing business.
Moon Da-hye collided with a taxi in Seoul's Itaewon district while trying to change lanes on Oct 5. Her blood alcohol concentration was measured at 0.149 percent at the time, exceeding the 0.08 percent threshold for driver's license revocation.
She is also accused of running an Airbnb business without official registration at three locations, comprising a studio apartment and villa in Seoul's Yeongdeungpo district, and a house on the southern resort island of Jeju.
The Seoul Southern District Prosecutors Office said it indicted Moon on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act and the Public Health Control Act.
"We made the decision in consideration of how the defendant caused an accident from drunk driving, and the significant profit she made from the prolonged operation of unregistered house-sharing businesses," the prosecution said.
