If the court grants the arrest warrant, Park will become the country`s third former president to be detained while under investigation.
SEOUL, South Korea ? South Korean prosecutors said Monday they will seek an arrest warrant for ousted president Park Geun-hye, which would see her held in a cell for up to 20 days while being investigated on charges of taking bribes from big businesses.
Park, 65, became South Korea`s first democratically elected president to be removed from office when a constitutional court upheld her parliamentary impeachment this month.
