South Korean prosecutors have indicted ousted president Park Geunhye for bribery over the corruption scandal that sparked her impeachment.
Park now faces charges including bribery, coercion, abuse of power and leaking state secrets. She was arrested and confined to a detention facility near Seoul last month on allegations that she colluded with a close friend to extort from businesses and commit other wrongdoings. Her criminal trial is expected to start in coming weeks and she will remain jailed during court proceedings that could take as long as six months. Park has denied any legal wrongdoing.
