South Korea: Former spy chiefs arrested for corruption
South Korean police have arrested two former spy chiefs over allegations that they illegally diverted funds to aides of former President Park Geun-hye.
Nam Jae-Joon and Lee Byung-Kee face charges of embezzlement and bribery over payments of some $3.6m (£2.7m) from the security agency's budget.
They deny wrongdoing, saying they believed the payments were legal.
Ms Park was impeached earlier this year and charged with bribery, abusing state power and leaking secrets.
