South Korean prosecutors are seeking an arrest warrant for former president Park Geun Hye


To further investigate Park's charges of bribery and abuse of power that ultimately led to her impeachment this month, the prosecutors have officially requested an arrest warrant on March 27. 


The request is made 5 days after Park was questioned for more than 20 hours at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office in southern Seoul.
