Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in has strongly criticized the recent indictment on bribery charges as unjust and politically driven. The prosecutors have accused Moon of accepting 217 million won in bribes from Lee Sang-jik, the founder of Thai Eastar Jet, through a job given to Moon’s son-in-law, who allegedly did not actually work. Moon has vehemently denied these accusations, stating that the prosecutors are misusing their authority to manipulate a preconceived storyline. The former president’s legal team is preparing to vigorously defend him against these charges. The case has sparked controversy in South Korea, with many of Moon’s supporters viewing the indictment as a politically motivated attack on his reputation. Moon, who served as president from 2017 to 2022, remains a prominent figure in South Korean politics. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the country’s political landscape.
