Woo Byung-woo, Feb 21, 2017 : Woo Byung-woo, former senior presidential secretary for civil affair, arrives at office of South Korea's special prosecutors in Seoul, South Korea before he goes to the Seoul Central District Court. The court held a hearing on Tuesday to decide whether to issue a warrant to arrest Woo in relation to an influence-peddling scandal that led to South Korean President Park Geun-hye's impeachment in December. The special prosecutors on Feb. 19 requested the arrest of Woo on charges of abuse of authority and dereliction of duty, local media reported. South Korean President Park was impeached on December 9, 2016 over a corruption scandal centering on her longtime confidante Choi Soon-Sil. (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO) (SOUTH KOREA)
