DANISH police have arrested the equestrian competitor daughter of a woman at the centre of a South Korean influence-peddling scandal that has engulfed President Park Geun Hye, police and prosecutors said on Monday.
The scandal led to Ms Park's impeachment by Parliament on Dec 9 and has drawn hundreds of thousands of protesters onto the streets of the capital, Seoul, for weekly demonstrations.
