"What the president of the court clearly told her: Madame, your father, your brothers are said to be on the run so consequently, in line with that, you should remain in detention, even though she has all the required guarantees for France."

8. SOUNDBITE: (French) Patrick Maisonneuve, Yoo Somena's lawyer:

"We don't really understand what she is being blamed for or in any case in as far as embezzlement is concerned, we submitted documents related to that claim. The court has them. This will probably not be of interest to the South Korean authorities because the South Korean authorities are looking for those responsible for this tragic ferry accident."

10. SOUNDBITE: (French) Patrick Maisonneuve, Yoo Somena's lawyer:

"She feels she is the victim of harassment by South Korean authorities. This is why she doesn't want to go to South Korea, that she will not accept being extradited and I can assure you we will do everything possible, even go to the European Court of Justice (to prevent it)."

12. SOUNDBITE: (French) Patrick Maisonneuve, Yoo Somena's lawyer:

"There is no guarantee that in South Korea she could get a fair trial. No guarantees today. And I think that she might even get an unfair trial. I am saying this openly, you can relay it: South Korean authorities will mistreat Madame Yoo the moment she steps foot in a Korean trial."

A French judge has refused a request to free the daughter of a South Korean tycoon who is thought to be the owner of a ferry that sank in April, leaving more than 300 people dead or missing.

French police arrested Yoo Somena on May 27 an international arrest warrant on suspicion of involvement in embezzling 8 million US dollars between 2004 and 2013.

She is the daughter of Yoo Byung-eun, a mysterious billionaire who South Korean authorities believe was the owner of the Sewol ferry.

The judge said on Wednesday that Yoo Somena, who is facing extradition to South Korea, might flee France where she has been resident since the beginning of 2013.

He noted that Yoo's brother, who also lived in France, disappeared in April.

Yoo's lawyer, said that she might get an "unfair trial" if she is extradited to South Korea.

"South Korean authorities will mistreat Madame Yoo the moment she steps foot in a Korean trial," Maisonneuve said.

He added that Yoo feels she is a victim of harassment by South Korean authorities.
