Former South Korean President Moon Jae-in called the recent bribery indictment against him "unfair" and accused prosecutors of acting politically, questioning the independence of their investigation into a case tied to his son-in-law's employment at a Thai airline. The former leader, who is among several past leaders to face legal troubles in South Korea, criticized the system for what he described as an overreach of power by the judiciary.
