Former South Korean President Arrested on Corruption Charges
Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye, accused of corruption, was taken into custody, according to Yonhap News Agency. A Seoul court has issued an arrest warrant for the ex-head of state on charges of bribery, abuse of power, exerting unlawful pressure and divulging state secrets. Recall that in mid-March, the Constitutional Court upheld the parliament's decision to impeach the president. Thus, Park Geun-hye became the first president of South Korea to leave office ahead of schedule.
