South korean graft investigators say they wont be able to question president park
You're referring to the recent development in the corruption scandal surrounding South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
On March 29, 2017, the Special Prosecutors' Office (SPO) announced that they would not be able to question President Park Geun-hye as part of their investigation into the corruption scandal, citing a lack of cooperation from the President's office and concerns about the President's safety.
The SPO had been investigating allegations that President Park had colluded with her longtime friend, Choi Soon-sil, to extort money and favors from large corporations, including Samsung. The investigation had already led to the arrest and indictment of several high-ranking officials, including Choi and Samsung's former vice chairman, Lee Jae-yong.
The SPO's decision not to question President Park was seen as a significant setback for the investigation, as the President had been at the center of the scandal and had been accused of playing a key role in the alleged corruption.
However, the SPO did announce that they would continue to investigate the allegations against President Park and would seek to gather evidence through other means, such as reviewing documents and interviewing witnesses.
The decision not to question President Park was met with widespread criticism from the public and opposition parties, who accused the government of trying to cover up the scandal and protect the President. The ruling party, the Saenuri Party, defended the decision, saying that it was necessary to ensure the President's safety and to prevent any potential harm to the country.
The scandal has led to widespread protests and calls for President Park's impeachment, and the National Assembly has begun the process of impeaching the President. The outcome of the impeachment process is still uncertain, but it is likely to have significant implications for the country's politics and governance.
