An official at the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae will stand trial for carrying out unlawful election campaign activity during a ceremony in the runup to the presidential vote in May, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Tak Hyun-min, a protocol officer to President Moon Jae-in, has been indicted without detention on charges of election law violations, according to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
The former campaigner for Moon is accused of playing music produced by Moon's camp during an event held three days before the election to encourage people to vote.
