Park Geun-hye awaits court’s verdict for alleged bribery, abuse of power and other crimes
Prosecutors have demanded a 30-year prison term for the former South Korean president Park Geun-hye for alleged bribery, abuse of power and other crimes in a landmark corruption case that marked a stunning fall from grace for the country’s first female leader and conservative icon.
Park did not attend the court hearing where prosecutors also demanded a fine of 118.5bn won (£78m) and said she had shown no remorse for “disrupting constitutional order and damaging the public’s trust in state power”. The court was expected later on Tuesday to set the date when it will announce the verdict and sentence if it finds her guilty.
