Seoul Central District Court

The Seoul Central District Court is a South Korean court that has recently been involved in several high-profile cases concerning former government officials. It is newsworthy due to its role in adjudicating cases related to political corruption and abuse of power. Recent events include the sentencing of former First Lady Kim Keon Hee to 20 months in prison for bribery and the sentencing of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo to 23 years for insurrection related to a martial law declaration by former President Yoon Suk Yeol. These rulings are significant as they reflect ongoing legal proceedings against individuals associated with the previous administration and have implications for the political landscape of South Korea, potentially impacting the fate of the impeached ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol who is awaiting his own verdict.
