Special counsel seeks five-year term for Yoon
Special counsel investigators in South Korea have asked a Seoul court to sentence current President Yoon Suk Yeol to five years in prison for allegedly using state power to appoint former Defense Minister Lee Jong-seop ambassador to Australia in 2023 to aid his escape and shield the investigation into the death of Marine Chae Su-geun. The case centers on charges of aiding a fugitive and abuse of power, with prosecutors arguing Yoon pressured officials and manipulated process to obstruct the criminal inquiry ahead of elections.

Supreme Court Refers Kim Keon-hee Case, Postpones Sentencing

The South Korean Supreme Court has postponed Kim Geon-hee’s sentencing and referred her case to a full bench amid conflicting lower-court rulings over charges including Deutsche Motors stock manipulation, receiving free polling results from Myung Tae-kyun, and gifts from the Unification Church. The moves come as related rulings on her husband, former President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon also hinge on the same polling allegations, prompting broader judicial review.
