There were two charges against Socrates but mostly the Athenian elite and other philosophers were tired of being made fun of by his sharper intellect.

You can discuss further with Koan.

1) Socrates acts wickedly, and with criminal curiosity investigates things under the earth, and in the heavens. He also makes the worse to be the better argument; and he teaches these things to others.

2) Socrates, it says, acts unjustly, corrupting the youth; and not believing in those Gods in which the city believes, he introduces other novel daemoniacal natures.
