Moon Jae-in Slams Bribery Indictment as Political Witch-Hunt
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Former South Korean president Moon Jae-in slams bribery indictment as political witch-hunt. On Friday, he said prosecutors were abusing power and acting politically. The charges, he said, are unfair and part of a targeted attack. Moon is facing bribery charges linked to his son-in-law’s job at a Thai airline. This job, held between 2018 and 2020, is now the centre of a national scandal. He told National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik that the case is biased. According to Moon, prosecutors have “already made up their minds” before investigating.

Bribery case linked to Thai airline job sparks public backlash

The indictment says Moon’s son-in-law was hired by a Thai company. This company was allegedly connected to former lawmaker Lee Sang-jik. At the same time, Lee became head of South Korea’s SMEs and Startups Agency. Prosecutors believe this was a bribe. They claim the job offer came in exchange for political favour. The Jeonju District Prosecutors’ Office confirmed this in a public statement. Lee was charged with bribery and breach of trust. But Moon’s lawyers say the claims are false. They insist the payments were “normal salaries.” Moon Jae-in slams bribery indictment as political witch-hunt and says the motive is clear—to damage his reputation.

Snap election pressures deepen as Moon Jae-in slams bribery indictment as political witch-hunt

South Korea is heading for a snap presidential election on June 3. President Yoon Suk Yeol was removed after a failed martial law attempt. Now, opposition leader Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party is leading polls. Moon Jae-in also belongs to this party. His critics say the timing of the charges is too convenient. Prosecutors have linked Moon’s case to former presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak. Both were jailed for bribery. But Moon’s team says this is different. They insist the charges are meant to distract voters. Moon Jae-in slams bribery indictment as political witch-hunt and vows to expose the truth.

In his own words, Moon said: “Beyond revealing my personal innocence, I plan to focus on properly uncovering and informing the public about the abuse and politicisation of the prosecution’s power.” This case has added tension ahead of a major election. Moon says he won’t stay silent. He believes the charges are politically motivated. His legal team stands firm and insists there is no evidence of bribery. As it stands, Moon Jae-in has slammed the bribery indictment as political witch-hunt and promises to defend his name. Whether voters believe him or not, this case is already shaping the direction of South Korea’s future.
