Both Yoon and Kim have been arrested and are in jail, with Yoon already undergoing trial on charges that include insurrection following his ouster in April over a botched bid to impose martial law in December.
Following the indictment, Kim apologised for causing concerns and said she would make “no excuses” and face trial.
The charges against Kim, which are punishable by years in prison if she is found guilty, range from stock fraud to suspected bribery that has implicated business owners, religious figures and a powerful political broker.
Kim's lawyers have denied the allegations against her and said news reports about some of the gifts she allegedly received were groundless speculation.
Special prosecutors investigating the country's martial law crisis also indicted on Friday former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo who was appointed by Yoon on charges of abetting insurrection and committing perjury, a prosecution spokesperson said.
In recent weeks, prosecutors had been questioning Han, but he has not responded to questions from reporters.
Soon after, Han himself was impeached after being accused of aiding Yoon in the martial law declaration. He denied this but accepted some responsibility for the ensuing crisis by failing to dissuade Yoon from making the surprise move.
The Constitutional Court overturned Han's impeachment, restoring his powers to serve as leader before he resigned from the post to run in the June election, but ended his bid for the presidency following rifts among conservatives. - REUTERS
