Uber continues to face problems overseas, this time with CEO Travis Kalanick getting indicted by South Korea for violating one of the country's public transport laws.
A spokeswoman for the ride-sharing service said the law in question prohibits people and companies without required licenses from offering or facilitating transportation services, according to Fortune.
"Uber Technologies respects the Korean legal system and will provide its full cooperation," Uber said.
South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said earlier on Wednesday that no arrests will be made under the indictment, NBC News reported. Those who break this transport law are sentenced to up to two years in prison or are fined a maximum of 20 million won ($18,121).
The prosecutor's office declined to comment.
The indictment follows a week after Seoul's city legislature said it will offer around $910 in cash to those who report Uber drivers offering rides illegally, Engadget reported.
Uber responded to this measure by saying it believes it has the right to operate in Seoul, adding that it doesn't believe "it is appropriate for authorities to seek to punish drivers who are trying to make a living through this service."
