South Korea: Ex-President, Park Geun-hye jailed for corruption

The event was covered live on South Korean television.
Officials said the disgraced former leader accepted bribes and abused her power during her administration.
Park’s arrest followed a lengthy court hearing in Seoul on Thursday, after which the judge decided there was enough evidence to warrant the arrest.
“Major allegations were explained and proved and there were concerns over evidence destruction,” Seoul’s Central District Court explained.
Park was impeached and removed from office on March 10.
She will now remain in jail while prosecutors seek a formal indictment, which they said should come within the next three weeks.
“I feel apologetic toward the nation’s citizens,” Park said last week.
“I’ll cooperate in the questioning sincerely.”
South Korea will elect a new president in May, and experts say it’s likely that Park’s conservative ruling party will be defeated in the vote after nearly a decade in power.
