A detained former intelligence chief has been indicted on charges of accepting kickbacks, including cash and gifts such as expensive jewelry, from a construction company, prosecutors said Friday.
Won Sei-hoon, who served as the National Intelligence Service chief under then-President Lee Myung-bak until early this year, is suspected of receiving some 170 million won ($153,000) in bribes from a former head of now-bankrupt Hwangbo Construction since 2009, they said.
In return, Hwang Bo-yeon, the former Hwangbo chief, allegedly asked Won to help the company clinch major construction deals from public institutions and large corporations. (Yonhap News)
