"The Seoul High Court convicted Kim Keon Hee of receiving another Chanel bag from the Unification Church and on the price manipulation charge, emphasizing her failure to meet public expectations for integrity."
"Kim's defense team has argued that the investigation led by independent counsel Min Joong-ki was politically driven, seeking a 15-year term for her."
Kim Keon Hee, the wife of ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, received a four-year prison sentence for corruption after an appeals court ruling. Initially sentenced to 20 months for receiving gifts from the Unification Church, she was later convicted of receiving additional gifts and involvement in a stock price manipulation scheme. The court emphasized her failure to meet public integrity expectations. Kim has been in jail since August, and her lawyers plan to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court amid ongoing scandals involving her husband.
