Prosecutors made a second request for a warrant to arrest a former finance ministry official caught up in the sale of the Korea Exchange Bank to Lone Star Funds, a private equity fund in the United States. In making the request, the government added accusations of bribery and distorting evidence against the former official, Byeon Yang-ho. Mr. Byeon, who headed the financial policy bureau in 2003 when Lone Star acquired a 50.5 percent stake in Korean Exchange for $1.5 billion, is accused of conspiring to overstate the bankÂs financial problems to reduce the price. The Seoul Central District Court plans to hold a hearing this week on the request for the arrest warrant. Lone Star canceled its plan last week to sell the stake to Kookmin Bank for $7.4 billion.
