Anonymousabout 2 hours ago

South Korea's Seoul High Court on April 28, 2026, more than doubled the prison sentence for former first lady Kim Keon Hee to four years, overturning her earlier acquittal on Deutsch Motors stock manipulation charges and expanding her bribery conviction. The ruling adds another chapter to South Korea's recurring pattern of prosecuting former presidents and their families, with Kim's husband Yoon Suk Yeol already serving a life sentence for insurrection following his failed martial law attempt in December 2024.
