Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea's former president, sentenced to 30 years for abuse of power and aiding the enemy over 2024 drone incursion into North Korea, aimed at pretext for martial law.
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. The Seoul High Court judge called Yoon's actions highly reprehensible, noting he sought to obstruct lawful execution of warrants. Both Yoon and the prosecution had appealed the original January sentence, with Yoon arguing the arrest warrants were based on an unlawful investigation.
