South Korea Court Increases Former President Yoon's Sentence to 7 Years for Obstructing Justice

A South Korean appeal court increased former president Yoon Suk-yeol's prison sentence from 5 to 7 years for obstructing justice after he used presidential security agents to block his own arrest.

Both Yoon and the prosecution had appealed the original January sentence, with Yoon arguing the arrest warrants were based on an unlawful investigation.
