South Korea appeals court gives ex-president Park 25-year jail term

Seoul, Aug 24, 2018 — A South Korean appeals court sentenced former President Park Geun-hye to 25 years in jail this morning, the Yonhap news agency reported, in a case arising from a corruption scandal that toppled her from power in early 2017.

The Seoul High Court found Park guilty of charges including bribery, Yonhap reported.

A lower court jailed Park for 24 years in April, saying she colluded with her friend, Choi Soon-sil, to receive tens of billions of won from major conglomerates such as Samsung and Lotte to help Choi’s family and fund non-profit foundations owned by her.

Prosecutors had appealed against that ruling, seeking a tougher sentence. — Reuters
