A second top South Korean business leader has been swept up in a far-reaching political corruption scandal that has gripped the country. Prosecutors said Monday that they have indicted Lotte Group Chairman Shin Dong-bin on bribery charges. The move highlights the deepening reach of an investigation that began last fall and has already led to the ouster of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye. The corruption scandal has dominated South Korean politics for months. Shin and other members of the family behind Lotte are already on trial in a separate corruption case involving the company.
