Moon was indicted for bribery, while former lawmaker Lee Sang-jik was indicted for bribery and breach of trust, Jeonju District Prosecutors' Office said in a statement.
Prosecutors had been investigating whether Lee's appointment as the head of an SMEs and Startups Agency was in exchange for Moon's former son-in-law getting a job and receiving a salary at the Thai-based corporation that Lee controlled in 2018-2020, the statement said.
The prosecution alleged that the salary Moon's son-in-law received as an executive director was irregular and constituted a bribe to the then-president.
Moon, Lee and their legal representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.
