SKor President renews pledge to quit
South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun has reiterated his willingness to resign over a corruption scandal involving his aides. One of the President's former aides has been arrested for allegedly receiving more than $1 million from business interests. Prosecutors have since been investigating other former presidential staffers and the Opposition. Yesterday a former opposition leader admitted receiving millions of dollars in illegal donations. That has prompted Mr Roh to declare that he will resign if prosecutors find his supporters raised one tenth of the illegal funds collected by the Opposition. Mr Roh said he is willing to cooperate with any inquiry and face "investigation without sanctuary".
