Roh's former aide arrested

ROK prosecutors arrested a former aide of President Roh Moo-hyun yesterday on bribery and influence-peddling charges, a prosecution official said, a week after the arrest of another ex-aide. The Busan District Public Prosecutors' Office arrested Jung Yun-jae, Roh's former protocol secretary, shortly after a local court issued a warrant, an official said.

Jung was charged with receiving 20 million won ($22,000) from a building contractor for helping him to evade a tax probe.
