A Seoul court sentences former President Yoon Suk Yeol to two years in prison for accepting illegal political funds in the form of “free opinion polls,” according to multiple reports. The case centers on Yoon’s alleged receipt of opinion polls worth about 270 million won (around $180,100) from a self-proclaimed power broker, Myung Tae-kyun, between April 2021 and March 2022. Prosecutors say Yoon accepted the polls in exchange for political support connected to a People Power Party nomination related to June 2022 parliamentary by-elections, and they also allege involvement by Yoon’s wife, former first lady Kim Keon Hee. The special counsel team indicted both Yoon and Myung under the Political Funds Act. Korea Times reports prosecutors sought a four-year prison term for Yoon and a three-year sentence for Myung. Reports also note that Yoon is facing multiple legal proceedings following his ouster after a failed 2024 martial law bid, including an appeal over a separate life sentence linked to that attempt.
