Kim Keon Hee, wife of South Korea’s ousted president, jailed for corruption
AI Summary
Kim Keon Hee, the wife of South Korea's ousted president Yoon Suk Yeol, was sentenced to 20 months in prison for corruption, including accepting luxury gifts in exchange for political favors. The Seoul court cited her abuse of influence as First Lady for personal gain. This follows Yoon's impeachment and removal from office after a martial law debacle, for which he received a five-year prison sentence. While independent counsel had sought a 15-year term for Kim on multiple charges, she was acquitted on two counts due to lack of evidence. Both the independent counsel and Kim's defense team are considering appeals. Kim has been jailed since August due to concerns about evidence destruction.
