A Seoul court approved a request from prosecutors to put a freeze on assets belonging to Lee Myung-bak, who's been indicted on corruption charges.<br /> The the former leader will not be able to conduct any financial transactions while the freeze is in effect, which would presumably be until the case is closed.<br />The decision affects 10-point-4 million dollars' worth of his financial assets,... which is equal to the amount of bribes the disgraced leader is accused of receiving from private firms and the national intel agency.<br />Lee was arrested in March and was indicted last week on 16 charges including bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power. <br />
