South Korea’s first female president, Park Geun-hye was arrested Friday morning in Seoul over bribery allegations which led to her impeachment and removal from office earlier this year.
The Daily Caller reports:
According to Reuters, Park was arrested after the Seoul Central District Court sided with prosecutors, claiming the 65-year-old former president posed a flight risk and could potentially tamper with evidence involved in the ongoing investigation.
Park is accused of colluding with friend and advisor Choi Soon-sil of soliciting donations from Korean businesses, most notably Samsung, to foundations friendly to Park’s legislative agenda in exchange for political favors.
The warrant for her arrest dictates she be held for 20 days, which prosecutors will use to continue to build a case against the disgraced politician.

Seeing a trend here, Dilma in Brazil, Kirchner in Argentina and now this.
Looks like we dodged a bullet in not electing Hillary.
Maybe Merkel will be next.
She sounds like a student of Hilary’s.
She would’ve been a firm ally for Trump against North Korea. It’s unfortunate.
It wasn’t super long ago that many in the US viewed SK was politically primitive.
Yet HERE we see that the primitive ones are **US**.
Cuz THEY take out THEIR garbage.
At least she didn’t meet Park Chung-Hee’s fate.
How refreshing. A country that doesn’t put their politicians above the law!
Locked her up. Waiting to hear same said of Clinton.

I’m in Seoul now. Things are humming - along well even though they arrested this corrupt politician. USA take note.
