现年95岁的新天地教会创始人李万熙因涉嫌非法影响选举遭逮捕。1首尔中央地方法院周三晚间发布了对李万熙的逮捕令，理由是其存在销毁证据的威胁。1
检控机构指控李万熙在2021年至2024年期间强制超过5万名信徒加入保守派人民力量党，目的是影响该党初选并为教会争取设施扩建许可。1李万熙于1984年创立新天地教会，该教会自称拥有约20万信徒。1
这起逮捕案是韩国现任自由派政府对前总统尹锡悦政权开展的更广泛调查的一部分，涉及新天地教会、统一教会与政治人物的关系。1尹锡悦因2024年12月非法实施戒严令被弹劾并遭定罪，已被判处无期徒刑及30年有期徒刑。1
Lee Man-hee, the 95-year-old founder of the Shincheonji Church of Jesus, was arrested on suspicion of illegally influencing elections through coercive recruitment tactics.1 Prosecutors allege that Lee forced more than 50,000 church members to join the conservative People Power Party between 2021 and 2024, with the intent to sway the party's primary elections and secure facility expansion permits for the church.1 The Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant on Wednesday evening, citing concerns that Lee posed a risk of destroying evidence.1
The Shincheonji Church, which Lee founded in 1984, claims to have approximately 200,000 followers.1 The investigation into Lee and his organization represents part of a broader inquiry by South Korea's current liberal government into connections between religious groups and political figures, particularly involving the former conservative administration.1 This case comes amid heightened scrutiny of former President Yoon Suk-yeol's political circle, following Yoon's impeachment and conviction for declaring an illegal emergency martial law in December 2024; he was sentenced to life imprisonment and an additional 30-year term.1
