Park was impeached in December amid a corruption scandal and abuse of power in connection with allegations of conspiring with her friend, Choi Soon-sil. The president's close confidante Choi Soon-sil has been accused of extorting money from corporations such as Samsung. She is accused of extortion of about $ 65.5 billion. It is assumed that the woman tried to sell the loyalty of the country's president to businessmen.
When announcing the court's decision, the chairman of the court, Li Yung-mi, said: "We excommunicate Pak Kun Hye from the post. Her actions betrayed the confidence of the people. They rudely violate the law, and must not be tolerated. "
