Prosecution spokesman Lee Kyu-chul said it was regrettable prosecutors would not be able to question her in person. He said Park’s office had refused a demand by prosecutors for a video or audio recording of any questioning.Final decisions on indictments for all suspects embroiled in the scandal, including executives from Samsung Group [SARG.UL], South Korea’s largest conglomerate, would be made by Tuesday.(Reporting by Ju-min Park and Se Young Lee; Editing by Paul Tait)
