Prosecutors demanded a six-year prison term against Hyundai Motor Co. Chairman Chung Mong-koo for embezzlement and other charges Tuesday, adding to the woes of the largest South Korean automaker.

　　Chung, 68, has been on trial since June on charges of illegally raising a slush fund from affiliates from which authorities say he spent 69.3 billion won for private and other purposes, including payments to lobbyists for government favors.

　　Chung Mong-koo apologized and pledged to make Hyundai the world's No. 5 automaker if given the chance. Hyundai and affiliate Kia Motors combined currently rank sixth.

　　韩国检察官今天要求法院判处韩国现代起亚汽车集团董事长郑梦九6年监禁，罪名是其涉嫌挪用公款。 

　　现年68岁的郑梦九于去年6月被检查机关起诉，原因是其非法筹集了693亿韩元秘密资金用作个人使用，或是贿赂政界人士及官员。

　　郑梦九对此道歉，并表示如果能有机会他保证将现代汽车集团打造成全球的五大汽车厂商，目前该集团排名第六位。
