South Korea Ex-President Yoon Jailed

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to two years in prison on Monday after being found guilty of receiving illegal polling services worth 270 million won from a political broker.

The Seoul Central District Court ruled that Yoon violated political funding laws by accepting the free polls during his 2022 presidential campaign.

Yoon is already serving a life sentence for insurrection related to his 2024 martial law declaration.

The latest conviction further tarnishes his legacy and underscores the legal troubles facing the former leader.
