Park Geun Hye keeps denying guilt as she leaves the Blue House

DISGRACED South Korean leader Park Geun Hye continued to deny corruption charges yesterday as she vacated the presidential Blue House two days after her formal impeachment.

In her first public comments since the constitutional court confirmed her removal her from office on Friday, Ms Park said: “Although it will take time, I believe the truth will certainly come out.”

She is accused of letting confidante Choi Soon Sil decide policy and solicit tens of millions in bogus charitable donations from corporate giants.
