South Korean prosecutors seek arrest warrant for ex-president

South Korean prosecutors have requested an arrest warrant for ex-president Lee Myung-bak over allegations of bribery, embezzlement and other charges.

Mr Lee, a conservative who governed from 2008 to 2013, is the latest South Korean leader to be entangled in scandals or other problems after leaving office. His conservative successor, Park Geun-hye, was removed from office and jailed last year in a separate corruption scandal.
