Former President Lee Myung-bak

The main opposition party's leader demanded Monday that former President Lee Myung-bak testify before parliament over alleged irregularities in his past administration's overseas resources development projects.
The prosecution and the National Assembly have conducted separate investigations into allegations the former administration wasted billions of dollars by investing in overseas resources development projects that had few results. Lee, who was in office from 2008-2013, is affiliated with the ruling Saenuri Party.
