On September 9, the South Korean Special Prosecution Service requested the court of second instance to uphold the first instance verdict in the case of Kim Gun-hee, the wife of former President Yoon Seok-yeol, on suspicion of accepting various kinds of property in the name of personnel requests, etc., and sentenced Kim Gun-hee to 7 years in prison. The special investigation team pointed out during the closing trial held at the Seoul High Court on the same day that Kim Gun-hee, as the president's spouse, can directly contact the president and exert influence on public decisions. Her influence of public power is combined with private acceptance of property, and the nature is similar to the crime of bribery. The special inspection team said that even if the maximum sentence for bribery is 7 years in prison according to the “Act on Aggravated Punishments for Specific Crimes,” it is still insufficient for Kim Kin-hee, and the court is required to fully consider the impact of her crime on society and the damage caused to the credibility of public officials.
