Seoul, Mar 31 (IBNS): Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye has been arrested on Friday morning, local The Chosunilbo reported.

Park is facing 13 charges, which includes leaking of secrets, bribery, abuse of power and conspiring with her partners to extort money from conglomerates.

However, she has denied all charges.

After a heated debate over her arrest, The Seoul Central District Court said that she must be arrested to prevent her from either destroying evidence or fleeing the country.

Following her arrest, Park became the third South Korean former president, after Chun Doo-hwan and Roh Tae-woo, to face arrest on criminal charges.
