Seoul (South Korea), 29 August. (LaPresse/AP) – Former South Korean first lady Kim Keon Hee and former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo were indicted today as part of the investigation into the administration of South Korea's ousted president, Yoon Suk-Yeol, and his attempt to overcome opposition by declaring martial law.A team led by special prosecutor Min Joong-ki said it had charged Kim with violating financial market and political financing laws and receiving bribes, about two weeks after a court ordered her arrest.Another team led by special prosecutor Cho Eun-suk said Han had been charged with aiding Yoon's imposition of martial law, which investigators said amounted to rebellion, as well as falsifying and destroying official documents and giving false testimony.
