Summary
South Korea’s Supreme Court has finalized a seven-year prison sentence for former President Yoon Suk-yeol, upholding his conviction for obstruction of justice tied to his controversial 2024 martial law declaration. The court found he falsified documents, skipped required cabinet approval, and misled foreign media — rejecting appeals that the sentence was too lenient. Prosecutors had sought ten years, citing abuse of power. Yoon, already serving a life sentence for orchestrating an insurrection linked to the martial law move, now faces seven more pending trials. His legal team vows to escalate the fight by challenging the ruling’s constitutionality at the Constitutional Court, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal showdown over presidential accountability and the rule of law.
