S Korea scientist on fraud charge
The South Korean cloning scientist who faked his stem cell research has been charged with fraud and embezzlement.
Hwang Woo-suk was also charged with using millions of dollars in grants for private purposes, as well as violating laws on bio-ethics.
Earlier this year Dr Hwang's apparently ground-breaking work, such as producing stem cell lines from cloned human embryos, was found to be fake.
Prosecutors said that he would not be taken into custody at present.
