Court Upholds Yoon Election Conviction, PPP Funds at Risk
An appellate court on Wednesday upheld former President Yoon Suk Yeol's conviction for making false statements during his 2022 presidential campaign, confirming an 18-month prison term suspended for three years. If the ruling becomes final after a Supreme Court review, it could invalidate the election and require the main opposition People Power Party to return about 39.7 billion won (nearly $30 million) in campaign expenses, Yonhap and the Hankyoreh report. The PPP said it will await the final verdict, according to KBS World.
