Former S Korea President Moon Jae-in indicted for bribery

Season 1, Ep. 8078

Prosecutors have indicted former South Korean President Moon Jae-in on charges of bribery related to his former son-in-law's job at an airline.


Prosecutors argue his former son-in-law, identified only by his surname Seo, had little experience in the aviation industry but was hired in exchange for the airline's CEO leading a state-funded agency.


Moon led the country from 2017 to 2022 and is best remembered for his attempts to broker a peace deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.


He joins a long list of South Korean presidents whose political careers have been marred by scandal, from jail to assassination to suicide.
