Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in has been charged with corruption and bribery, prosecutors announced today.
The former head of state was "indicted for allegedly receiving 217 million won (132.200 euros) after facilitating his son-in-law's employment at an airline," the Jeonju District Prosecutors' Office said in a statement.
The indictment is the latest in a series of scandals on South Korea's political scene, following an attempt by then-President Jun Suk-jeol in December to impose a state of emergency. Jun Suk-jeol was subsequently impeached.
President Moon Jae-in's term was from 2017 to 2022.
