2016 South Korean political scandal

The scandal involves allegations that she was responsible for masterminding governmental policy and decision making during Park's administration. Prosecutors have raided offices and homes linked to Choi. Park's secretaries have been ordered to resign following the scandal. She may have ordered Korean prosecutors to indict a Japanese journalist, Tatsuya Kato (Seoul Bureau chief of Sankei Shimbun), for defamation for reporting that President Park and Chung Yoon-hoi, had a secret seven-hour meeting with Choi after the sinking of MV Sewol.

As of October 30, Choi Soon-sil has returned to South Korea and is facing prosecution. On October 31, she met with prosecutors, telling reporters “Please, forgive me. I’m sorry. I committed a sin that deserves death”.

As of November 20, Choi Soon-sil was officially charged by the prosecutors for intervening with state affairs and forcing chaebols to donate tens of millions of dollars to foundations and businesses she had control over.
