Former South Korean President Moon calls his bribery indictment 'unjust'

0
Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in has called his bribery indictment “unjust” and accused prosecutors of abusing their power in what he called a politically motivated investigation. Prosecutors in the southern city of Jeonju said the indictment involves allegations that a budget airline gave Moon's then-son-in-law a lucrative no-show job during his presidency. Multiple South Korean leaders have faced criminal allegations or scandals near the end of their terms or after leaving office. South Korea will hold a presidential by-election in June after Moon's successor in office was impeached and removed from office over his imposition of martial law.
