SEOUL, March 21 (Xinhua) -- South Korean prosecutors ended a marathon interrogation of ousted President Park Geun-hye late on Tuesday night over a corruption scandal that led to her impeachment.
The 14-hour-long questioning came to an end at about 11:40 p.m. local time (1440 GMT) as Park appeared in the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office to be questioned over the influence-peddling scandal.
Sohn Bum-kyu, one of Park's legal team, said via text message that it would take about two hours to confirm the testimony Park had given to the prosecutors.
Park is expected to return after midnight to her private home in a southern district of Seoul, where she has stayed since she left the presidential Blue House on March 12.
At present, the prosecutors are reportedly ruling out a possibility to seek to arrest Park.
On March 10, the constitutional court permanently removed Park from office by unanimously upholding the bill to impeach Park that was passed in the parliament on Dec. 9.
Since the passage of the impeachment, Park had vowed to be interrogated by both state and special prosecutors, but she eventually dismissed the requests for questioning by both of them, citing various reasons.
Park had immunity from criminal indictment while in office, but she has lost it as she is now a private civilian. Park became the fourth South Korean former president to be questioned by prosecutors.
