South Korean prosecutors sought to arrest former President Park Geun-hye over allegations that she abused her powers and colluded with her longtime friend and former aides to get bribes from the nation’s top businesses.
Government attorneys submitted a request at the Seoul Central District Court to issue an arrest warrant for Park, prosecutors said in a text message on Monday. It’s reasonable and lawful to detain her because there’s a risk that she will destroy evidence since she continues to deny wrongdoing, they said.
