Former presidents Lee Myung-bak, Park Geun-hye not to appear at court hearings Thursday
  • 6 years ago
South Korea's two disgraced former presidents,... Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye are not expected to be present at court today despite the fact they have trial hearings scheduled.
The second preparatory trial hearing for Lee,... who's accused of accepting bribes worth more than ten million U.S. dollars,... is scheduled to take place at the Seoul Central District Court at 2:10 p.m.
Park, who has been boycotting all court hearings since last October, is not expected to appear for her hearing over allegations she meddled in the nomination of lawmakers for the former Saenuri Party.
Park was sentenced to 24 years in prison last month after being found guilty on a slew of separate corruption charges.
