Ex-south Korea president convicted over false campaign claims
A court in South Korea has sentenced former President Yoon Suk-yeol to 18 months in prison, suspended, on charges of disseminating false information during his 2022 election campaign. The court convicted him of lying about his relationship with a shaman and making false claims regarding a tax official, which influenced voter perception. He was also fined $29 million to the main opposition party he represented. The verdict could potentially annul his election victory. It is worth noting that Yoon is currently serving a life sentence for insurrection, and his legal team is seeking to appeal the ruling.
