Choi Soon-sil and An Chong-bum appear for second hearing in criminal trial

최순실 2차 공판••• 검찰, 증거 대방출 예고 We begin with the latest developments on the power abuse scandal... The second hearing in the criminal trial of President Park Geun-hye's longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil... and former presidential aide An Chong-bum is currently underway. For the details, we connect with our Kim Hyesung, who is at the Seoul Central District Court. Hyesung -- Choi refused to appear for the impeachment trial at the Constitutional Court yesterday, but she has appeared for the hearing today? That's right, Mark. Both Choi Soon-sil and former secretary for policy coordination An Chong-bum appeared at around ten a.m. for the second hearing in the criminal trial. Now, just to make a distinction, this is a criminal court trial, which is different from the impeachment trial that's going on at the Constitutional Court and the investigation being carried out by the independent counsel. So both Choi and An are appearing as suspects and will use the opportunity to defend themselves. At the first hearing in the criminal trial last Thursday, the court examined only a quarter of the over 27-thousand pages of evidence, and today prosecutors are releasing more documents. Choi is currently facing charges of abuse of power and attempted fraud, while An has been charged as an accomplice. Both of them are accused of forcing Korean conglomerates to donate millions of dollars to two foundations allegedly run by Choi. Choi's lawyers have denied the charges against her and say her testimony should not be used as evidence, because she was forced to make confessions under pressure during investigation. The prosecution denies that her confessions were forced. The court will hold a separate hearing for another person charged as an accomplice, former presidential secretary Jeong Ho-seong, next Thursday. Jeong has been accused of leaking classified information. Back to you, Mark.
