Prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a former prosecutor over allegations he received bribes from a former chief of a local cosmetics company in a high-profile scandal that rocked the country's legal sector last year.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said the ex-prosecutor, identified only by his last name Park, is accused of receiving 100 million won ($89,600) from Jung Woon-ho, former chief of Nature Republic, in 2014 in return for peddling influence in relation to the state watchdog's inspection of the company.
