Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in has been indicted on bribery charges related to the employment of his former son-in-law at a now-defunct airline. Prosecutors allege that the son-in-law received significant compensation as a bribe facilitated by businessman Lee Sang-jik, who had ties to Mr. Moon. This indictment is part of an ongoing trend in South Korea where past leaders frequently face legal consequences after their terms. Specifically, the charges involve the manipulation of presidential resources to secure improper employment for family.
Mr. Moon is facing allegations that he utilized his presidential staff to facilitate his son-in-law's employment at a defunct airline, raising serious ethical questions.
Prosecutors argue that the compensation his son-in-law received, totaling about $150,000, was actually a bribe disguised as a salary from a businessman with connections.
