South Korea's Yoon sentenced to two years over illegal opinion polls scheme
• Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been sentenced to two years in prison for accepting 14 free opinion polls in exchange for political support. • The Seoul court found that Yoon colluded with his wife, Kim Keon Hee, to receive these polls from power broker Myung Tae-kyun to support a specific candidate. • This conviction adds to the legal challenges facing Yoon, who already faces a life sentence on insurrection charges related to his 2024 martial law declaration.
