South Korea indicts Seoul mayor for political funding violations

The mayor of Seoul, Oh Se-hoon, has been formally accused by a special prosecutor in South Korea.

The accusation is about breaking the rules related to political money.

The mayor is said to have used a middleman to conduct a survey and had someone else pay for it, which is not allowed.

This is part of a bigger scandal involving a powerful person who influences politics.

The special prosecutor's team made this announcement on a Monday in early December.

The case is now in the legal system, and the mayor will have to defend himself in court.
