🇰🇷Prosecutors Seek Ten Years for Yoon Special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team demanded a 10-year prison term for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol at the Seoul High Court appeals hearing on Monday. The sentence sought is double the five-year term a lower court imposed in January. Yoon was convicted in the lower court of obstructing investigators attempting to detain him and of convening only select Cabinet members to review his martial law plan. He was also found guilty of creating and then discarding a false proclamation after the martial law decree was lifted in December 2024. The special counsel team argued Yoon abused his presidential position to destroy constitutional order and had not apologized since the first ruling. The court is expected to deliver its verdict before the end of June. Yoon has been jailed since July and is standing a total of eight trials, including a separate case in which he was sentenced in February to life imprisonment for insurrection. #SouthKorea @asianomics
