SEOUL: The former leader of an advocacy group for South Korean victims of Japanese wartime sexual violence on Friday denied allegations of misusing funds meant for the victims but apologised for"banking errors".
After weeks of silence, Yoon held a news conference and denied the accusations and calls for her resignation, saying she did not embezzle the money.The investigation includes allegations she embezzled funds to buy apartments and support her daughter's US college education, and incurred losses by buying and selling a property meant to shelter victims.
"I used my accounts because the money was raised for special occasions, not for all victims, but it was a wrong decision," she told the conference."I had wired it to Jungdaehyup accounts but there were some errors. But I did not spend it personally."
