Prosecutors request arrest warrant for Hyundai car boss

State prosecutors today requested an arrest warrant for Hyundai Motor Company chairman Chung Mong-koo amid a bribery and slush fund scandal that has rocked South Korea’s largest car manufacturer.

Prosecution spokesman Kang Chan-woo said the arrest warrant was requested for Chung, while his son, Kia Motors Corporation president Chung Eui-sun would continue to be investigated without being physically detained.
