South Korea's prosecutors said Thursday they have indicted former president Moon Jae-in on corruption charges related to the employment of his son-in-law at an airline.
Moon was "indicted for corruption for receiving 217 million won ($150,000) in connection with facilitating the employment of his son-in-law at an airline," the Jeonju District Prosecutors' Office said in a statement.
The case adds to the political drama gripping South Korea, which is facing elections on June 3 after Yoon Suk Yeol was stripped of his presidency for imposing martial law briefly.
