South Korea's Ex-President Park Geun-hye indicted in corruption probe

SEOUL, 17 April (BelTA - Yonhap) -South Korean prosecutors indicted jailed former President Park Geun-hye Monday as they wrapped up a six-month probe into the corruption and influence-peddling scandal that brought her down last month.

Park has been charged with bribery, abuse of power, coercion and leaking government secrets in the affair which also involved her long-time friend Choi Soon-sil and former key aides.

The former president reportedly denied all the charges during her five rounds of questioning in jail.

The massive corruption scandal gained the full spotlight in October after a local media outlet revealed a tablet PC allegedly used by Choi. The device contained a series of documents related to state affairs, some of which the prosecution concluded were government secrets.
