S Korean Olympic medallist hit with travel ban in swirling fraud case

Seoul – Olympic silver medallist Nam Hyun-hee has been barred from leaving South Korea, police said Tuesday, as a high-profile fraud probe into her ex-fiance drags in the former fencer.

The case has dominated headlines in South Korea for weeks because of its murky nature and revelations about the pair and their relationship. Nam's former fiance, Jeon Cheong-jo, was arrested last week on charges of swindling at least 15 people out of 1.9 billion won . "We plan to proceed with the investigation swiftly," police said in a statement to AFP. The case first came to public attention last month when Nam announced her engagement, giving a magazine interview with her fiance in which they said Jeon was the son of a wealthy family in the casino industry.

Former fencer Nam -- who also won bronze at the London 2012 Olympics -- has since broken off the engagement, saying that she was deceived and had been unaware of her ex-partner's criminal past.
