S Korea charges ousted Prez Park Geun-hye over corruption
South Korean prosecutors on Monday formally charged ousted President Park Geun-hye in a corruption scandal that led to her impeachment in December last year. The charges include bribery, coercion, abuse of power and leaking state secrets, prosecutors said. Park was accused of allowing friend Choi Soon-sil to extort money from companies in return for political favours.
