Gyeongi Province Governor Indicted; Charges Dropped Against His Wife

Charges of libel from Twitter messages from the wife of Gyeongi province Governor Lee Jae-myung have been dropped, but it appears unsurprisingly that Governor Lee was the primary target of the prosecutors all along: 

Gyeonggi Province Gov. Lee Jae-myung will stand trial for telling falsehoods about a series of allegations raised against him and about his family during his election campaign for the governorship. 
The Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office indicted Lee without physical detention on charges of violating the national election law, it said.
Lee has been under investigation for allegedly lying about his brother’s institutionalization due to a mental illness during his campaign in the runup to the June local elections. 
He denied when he appeared on TV debates as a governor candidate that he had used his authority as the then Seongnam mayor to have his now-deceased brother institutionalized against his will.
The governor also faced accusations after an actress claimed she had an extramarital affair with Lee. Prosecutors decided to not press any charges against Lee, citing insufficient grounds.
“It’s what I expected. I’m not baffled,” he told reporters following the prosecution announcement.
Lee also hinted that he would not give up his seat over the indictment and will fight the matter in court. 
“I still am a proud member of the Democratic Party. I will do my utmost to not cause any more trouble for the party,” he said
