Former Pres. Roh's brother appears for questioning

SEOUL, Dec. 1 (Yonhap) -- A brother of former President Roh-Moo-hyun appeared for
questioning on Monday over his suspected role in the 2006 takeover of an ailing
securities firm, for which he is alleged to have received bribes.

Roh Gun-pyeong, 66, is suspected of influencing the state-run mega firm Nonghyup,
or the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, to take over Sejong
Securities Co. as it teetered on the brink of default while his younger brother
was in office.
