A South Korean court has sentenced former First Lady Kim Keon-hee to 20 months in prison on corruption charges, having been accused of receiving bribes from the Unification Church in exchange for providing business services.
This ruling comes ahead of the verdict for former President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was ousted last year for imposing martial law. The court is expected to consider the rebellion charge against him in the coming weeks.
The independent prosecutor previously sought the death penalty for the former president in a separate case, highlighting the seriousness of the matter and its impact on the political landscape in the country.
