Prosecutors seek death penalty for ex-South Korean president Yoon
South Korean prosecutors have officially requested the death penalty for former President Yoon, who was impeached last year on charges of corruption and abuse of power. The prosecutors have accused him of accepting millions of dollars in bribes from various business conglomerates during his time in office.
Yoon, who served as president for four years before being removed from power, has consistently denied all allegations against him. His defense team argues that the charges are politically motivated and part of a larger effort to tarnish his reputation.
The case has generated significant public interest in South Korea, with many citizens closely following the legal proceedings. Supporters of Yoon have held rallies calling for his release, while others believe that he should be held accountable for any wrongdoing while in office.
The court is expected to reach a verdict in the coming weeks, which will determine the fate of the former president. If convicted, Yoon could face the death penalty, marking a significant moment in South Korea’s history.
