(Thanks, Hee-jun. Just to follow up on what Hee-jun had to say. Arirang TV is the only place where you'll be able to watch the sentencing hearing for Park Geun-hye in full with English translation throughout,... so we hope you tune in from TWO PM, Korea time...)
Now... From one corrupt former leader to another facing serious allegations of his own...
Prosecutors say they will indict former president Lee Myung-bak on Monday,... a day before his 20-day detention period was set to expire.
Lee's twelve charges include bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power.
The former president has so far refused to cooperate with the prosecution's requests to question him.
Prosecutors says they can prove the ex-leader received around eleven million U.S. dollars in bribes and embezzled even more through auto parts company DAS, which he is suspected to secretly own.
Lee's wife and son are also being investigated over suspicions that they also took kickbacks.
