S. Korea Opposition Leader Lee Denies Allegations of Illegal North Korea Funds Transfer

South Korean opposition leader Lee has been formally indicted regarding allegations of an illegal funds transfer to North Korea, a charge that stands at odds with his vehement denials. Lee, who previously described the accusations as a work of fiction, declared, "I am not that foolish," firmly rejecting the idea that he would engage in such activities. His statement came in response to last year's events when a court refuted a warrant for his arrest based on these charges.
