SEOUL, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — South Korea's special prosecutor on Wednesday demanded a 15-year prison sentence for former Prime Minister Han Deok-soo on charges of aiding former President Yun Seok-yul in his attempted coup.
As reported by multiple media outlets, Special Prosecutor Cho Eun-seok's team, who is investigating the Yoon Seok-yeol mutiny and other charges, has requested a 15-year prison sentence for Han Duk-soo on charges of aiding the mutiny leader, carrying out important tasks related to the mutiny, and perjury.
Renhap News Agency quoted the special prosecutor's team as saying Han Duk-soo attempted to legitimize martial law, committed crimes of obstructing legal proceedings by falsifying official documents, and refused to cooperate by retracting his testimony.
Han Duk-soo was the only person who could have prevented the mutiny, but he refused to do his duty and took part in the mutiny, the team noted.
On April 4, the Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment petition against Yun Seok-yul over his failed attempt to impose martial law last December, formally removing him from office.
