South Korean prosecutors requested on Tuesday a 30-year prison sentence for disgraced former South Korean president Park Geun-hye, who was impeached last year in a sensational corruption scandal.
The requested term, if granted, would be tantamount to a life sentence for Park, who is 66. Prosecutors also asked the Seoul Central District Court to fine her $110 million for her alleged crimes.
The court is expected to deliver its verdict and impose a sentence in late March or early April.
"Park is the person who is ultimately accountable for this influence-peddling scandal," the prosecutor told Judge Kim Se-kyoon.
