Comparing Trump's Indictment to Other Countries' Prosecution of Ex-Leaders
While Donald Trump is the first former US president to be charged with a criminal offence, many other ex-leaders have faced criminal charges and some have even made political comebacks. Examples include Italy's Silvio Berlusconi, Brazil's Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, South Korea's Park Geun-hye, France's Nicolas Sarkozy, South Africa's Jacob Zuma, Malaysia's Najib Razak, Israel's Ehud Olmert, Thailand's Yingluck Shinawatra, and Bolivia's Jeanine Áñez. Charges have ranged from corruption to abuse of power, and some have served time in jail while others have been pardoned or had their convictions overturned.
