OMG! Viagra packets found in South Korean presidential offices, President says the packets are for treating sickness!
The scandal in South Korea involving President Park Geun-hye has taken an unexpected twist with news that Viagra has been found in her offices.
Authorities found the pills – usually used to treat erectile dysfunction – while investigating corruption allegations against Ms Park.
The government says the Viagra was bought to combat altitude sickness.
The South Korean leader is accused of allowing her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to influence her decisions.
The presidential office confirmed it bought 364 Viagra and similar generic pills to deal with altitude sickness on official trips to East Africa, although the pills were never used.
Viagra reduces high blood pressure and improves the transport of oxygen in the blood. South Korean authorities have raided the offices of Samsung and the national pension fund as part of a corruption investigation linked to the president.
