Two former aides to Park quizzed over political scandal

Prosecutors repeat need for president to be questioned 'no later than Wednesday'

Prosecutors on Monday questioned two former key presidential aides over allegations they helped a shadowy confidant of President Park Geun-hye meddle in state affairs and secretly visit her office.

Park has been engulfed by a scandal that centers on Choi Soon-sil, who is accused of using her personal ties with the president to coerce major companies to donate millions of dollars to nonprofit foundations Choi then used for personal gain.
