SEOUL, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) — The special prosecutor of the Republic of Korea (ROK) said Monday that he has indicted a total of 76 people, including former President Yoon Seok-yel and his wife, on corruption charges after completing investigations.
Special Prosecutor Min Joon-gi's team said in a statement released after completing a 180-day investigation that it had indicted a total of 76 people, including 20 defendants in custody.
It is noted that the charges against Yun Seok-yul and his wife Kim Geon-hee include stock price manipulation, receiving lavish gifts, illegally interfering with the relocation of the presidential office, and illegally receiving political funds.
It was confirmed that Kim Gun-hee used her status as First Lady both to receive lavish gifts and to actively interfere with appointments and nominations. The group emphasized that this behavior, which can be described as a modern-day sale of government positions, has led to a significant disruption of government systems.
The special prosecutor's team has requested a 15-year prison sentence for Kim Geon-hee, who has been held in a detention center since August. The sentencing date is set for January 28 of next year.
This is the first time in the country's history that the wife of a former head of state has appeared in court while in custody.
