Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in Indicted for Bribery
Former President Moon Jae-in of South Korea was indicted on bribery charges related to the employment of his former son-in-law at a now-defunct airline in Thailand, with prosecutors alleging that a South Korean businessman paid a bribe to Moon through the son-in-law’s salary. This indictment continues a troubling trend in South Korea where former leaders face criminal investigations, as seen with recent ex-presidents facing similar fates, contributing to political polarization. Moon, known for his diplomatic efforts with North Korea, has denied the accusations, labeling them a political smear campaign.
