South Korea court cuts ex-First Lady Kim Keon Hee’s prison term to five years, Yonhap says

-

SEOUL, Sept ‌22 (Reuters) - A South ​Korean appeals court on ⁠Tuesday reduced a prison term given to former ​First Lady Kim Keon Hee ‌to five years from seven over her conviction for ⁠receiving bribes ⁠during her husband's presidency, the Yonhap News Agency reported.

Kim, the wife of ‌former President Yoon Suk ⁠Yeol, was ‌found guilty by ​a lower court in June of accepting luxury ‌items in exchange ​for ⁠political favours.

Yoon was impeached ‌for his ⁠failed December 2024 martial law declaration and later sentenced ​to life ‌in prison for masterminding ⁠an insurrection.
