South Korean prosecutors on Monday indicted former President Park Geun-hye on multiple corruption charges including bribery and abuse of power.
韩国检察机关周一起诉前总统朴槿惠犯下收贿以及滥用权力等多项腐败问题。
Park was accused of taking a total of 59.2 billion won (52 million U.S. dollars) in bribes both directly and indirectly from business conglomerates, called chaebol here, and their founding families.
A total of 18 criminal charges were levied against Park, including bribery, abuse of power, extortion and the leakage of confidential documents.
The disgraced leader became the third South Korean president to be indicted by prosecutors.
Park was removed from office on March 10 as the Constitutional Court ruled unanimously to impeach her over a corruption scandal. She was taken into custody three weeks later.
Park, 65, was charged with colluding with her longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil to receive tens of millions of U.S. dollars in bribes from Samsung Group and Lotte Group, while demanding millions dollars from SK Group.
Choi, who is now in custody, has been branded by prosecutors as a criminal accomplice of the impeached leader.
Lotte Group Chairman Shin Dong-bin was separately indicted without detention on bribery charges.
