South Korea Prosecutors Seek Detention Warrant for Ousted President Park

by Reuters

   SEOUL --

   South Korean prosecutors said on Monday they will seek a detention
   warrant for ousted President Park Geun-hye, who has been accused of
   taking bribes from big businesses.

   Park, 65, became South Korea's first democratically elected president
   to be removed from office when a constitutional court upheld her
   parliamentary impeachment this month. Park denies any wrong doing.

   Last week, Park was interviewed by prosecutors for 14 hours, finally
   leaving early Wednesday.
