South Korean prosecutors have decided to ask for an arrest warrant for ousted President Park Geun-hye in the corruption scandal that has forced her from office. Yonhap news agency reported that prosecutors requested the warrant Monday.
South Korea's Constitutional Court dismissed Park from office earlier this month following her impeachment by lawmakers over allegations she colluded with longtime friend Choi Soon-sil to extort companies to donate nearly $70 million to dubious foundations in exchange for favorable treatment.
The prosecution said in a statement, "It would be unfair not to seek a warrant considering that her accomplice Choi Soon-sil, as well as those government officials who followed her direction and the ones who gave kickbacks have all been detained."
Park has denied any wrongdoing.
The prosecution statement says a "lot of evidence" has been gathered," but as the suspect denies most of the criminal allegations, there is a possibility of her destroying evidence."
With Park out of office, South Korea will vote for a new president on May 9.
韩国检察官决定提请法庭颁发对被罢黜的朴槿惠总统的逮捕令,朴槿惠因腐败丑闻被免职。据韩联社报道,检察官是星期一提请颁发逮捕令的。
朴槿惠遭到议会弹劾后,韩国宪法法庭本月早些时候免去了她的总统职务。之前,她被指控与长年密友崔顺实相互勾结,对一些公司进行勒索,迫使他们为换取优惠向来路不明的基金会捐款近7千万美元。
检方在声明中说:“鉴于她(朴槿惠)的同谋崔顺实以及听命于她的那些政府官员和给予回扣的人员都被拘押,不提请颁发她的逮捕令有失公允。”
朴槿惠否认自己有任何不法行为。
检方声明说,已经搜集到“大量证据”,但是由于嫌疑人否认其中大多数刑事指控,有可能她已将证据销毁。
朴槿惠下台后,韩国将在5月9日投票选举新总统。
