Seoul, South Korea – In a landmark ruling, South Korean courts sentenced the former prime minister to 23 years in prison after finding him guilty of involvement in a coup plot that shook the foundations of the state.

The verdict sent shockwaves through South Korea and the world. It comes amid concerns about significant political repercussions on the domestic scene and renewed debate about the stability of the government and state institutions.

Reports indicate that investigations uncovered a complex network of illegal political and military activities. Therefore, the judiciary took this decisive step to uphold the rule of law and hold accountable all those who threaten the country’s democratic system.
