SEOUL – South Korean prosecutors on Dec 3 sought a combined 15-year prison sentence for former first lady Kim Keon Hee, who has been indicted for bribery and other charges, and is currently on trial.
The case comes amid a year-long probe into former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief imposition of martial law in 2024 and related scandals linked to the once-powerful couple.
The Seoul Central District Court is due to deliver its verdict on Jan 28.
