South Korean Appeals Court Extends Ex-First Lady’s Corruption Sentence to Four Years
The Seoul High Court issued the revised ruling after determining that Kim Keon Hee, the wife of former President Yoon Suk Yeol, was guilty of participating in a stock manipulation scheme and receiving luxury gifts linked to the Unification Church, as stated by reports.
Prosecutors had reportedly sought a significantly harsher penalty of 15 years in prison during proceedings led by a special counsel team.
The case comes amid broader legal and political turmoil involving former President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was removed from office last year following a conviction related to the imposition of martial law in December 2024. He is facing multiple legal cases and is currently serving a life sentence in connection with that ruling.
