South Korea is looking for answers in its biggest scandal in years as the woman at the centre of it faced prosecutors on Monday. Choi Soon-sil, a cult leader's daughter with a decades-long connection to President Park Geun-hye, arrived at the Seoul Public Prosecutor's Office earlier today.

The media has speculated that she may have had a major role in government affairs by pulling strings from behind the scenes, while exploiting her relationship with Park for personal gain in the form of money and favours.
