South Korean prosecutors are expected to indict ousted president Park Geun-hye on Monday, and wrap up their investigation into the corruption scandal. 
Park could be indicted on a string of charges. They include bribery, abuse of power, coercion and leaking government secrets. She could face between 10 years and life in prison. 
The former president has been held at the Seoul Detention Center since March 31, over allegations of influence-peddling involving her confidante Choi Soon-sil. 
Park has undergone five rounds of questioning. She is the country's third former leader to be arrested over corruption.
