A JTBC reporter was instrumental in the arrest of Choi Soon-sil's daughter Chung Yoo-ra in Denmark, according to the Korean news outlet.

Lee Ga-hyuk, a reporter who has committed himself to tracking down Chung, reported Chung's whereabouts to Denmark police and was present during her arrest.

JTBC plans to reveal how it found Chung and will show footage of her arrest during its primetime news show on Tuesday.

Earlier on Monday, Danish police arrested Chung Yoo-ra on charges of being in the country illegally.

South Korea's special prosecutors and the police are collaborating with their Danish counterparts to repatriate Chung as soon as possible.
