Aug. 30 (UPI) -- The Seoul Central District Court on Friday indicted former South Korean first lady Kim Keon Hee for alleged corruption during her husband's presidency.

Kim is the wife of former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who also was indicted on corruption charges on Friday and is being held in detention.

Kim is charged with influence peddling during South Korea's 2022 by-elections, bribery and stock manipulation.

"I am truly sorry for the distress this situation has caused the public, but I will not make excuses under any circumstances," Kim said, as reported by The Korea Herald.

"I will endure this time by holding on to the truth," she said.
