Seoul: A Seoul court on Friday sentenced former first lady Kim Keon Hee to seven years in prison for taking expensive gifts in return for job appointments and business favors. The Seoul Central District Court delivered the sentence to Kim, the wife of ousted former President Yoon Suk Yeol, following her indictment on charges of accepting bribes for mediation.
According to Yonhap News Agency, special counsel Min Joong-ki's team had sought a 7 1/2-year prison term, contending that the former first lady repeatedly exploited her official status to engage in personal transactions.
