SEOUL: Ousted South Korean president Park Geun-Hye was charged Thursday with accepting millions of dollars worth of bribes from the state spy agency, news reports said. Park allegedly received between 50 and 200 million won (now $47,000 to $188,000) from the National Intelligence Service (NIS) every month from early 2013 ? soon after her swearing-in ? until mid-2016, prosecutors told South Korean media. The cash ? said to total 3.65 billion won ($3.4 million) ? was reportedly delivered by NIS agents to Park´s aides in uncrowded parking lots or in back alleys near the presidential Blue House. The money came from the spy agency´s ?blind budget? ? millions of dollars of special funds that can be spent without receipts for anti-espionage activities ? Yonhap news agency said.
