Park impeachment hearing on Feb. 27
Seoul, Feb. 22: South Korea’s Constitutional Court will hold its final impeachment hearing to rule on the fate of President Park Geun-Hye at the end of the month, Yonhap News Agency reported on Wednesday.
Ms Park was impeached by Parliament in December over a corruption scandal involving her close confidante Choi Soon-Sil.
The court initially planned to wrap up the hearings this week but postponed their decision to February 27 after “the President’s attorneys asked for more time”, Yonhap said, citing acting chief justice Lee Jung-Mi. The final verdict could be out by March 13 at the earliest, the report added. — AFP
