Prosecution ends questioning of former president on bribery allegations

SEOUL, May 1 (Yonhap) -- The prosecution ended its questioning of former
President Roh Moo-hyun, who denied involvement in corruption scandals surrounding
his family members in some 10 hours of probe on Thursday.
The former president was grilled over suspicions that he, his wife and son
received millions of dollars in bribes from a businessman.
Roh denied the allegations and refused to be cross-examined with Park Yeon-cha,
the businessmen suspected of giving money to the former first family and their
relatives.
The prosecution's questioning ended abruptly, shortly before midnight Friday, as
Roh asked to be released, citing exhaustion from long hours of interrogation.
