Prosecutors Seek 15-Year Sentence for South Korea's Former First Lady

South Korean prosecutors have requested a 15-year prison sentence for Kim Keon-hee, the wife of former President Yoon Suk Yeol. They accused her of operating "beyond the reach of law enforcement" for years. Kim faces charges including stock manipulation, bribery, and illegal electioneering. The allegations center on a controversial deal involving a Deutsch Motors stock purchase and accepting luxury handbags. A Seoul court will deliver its verdict on January 28. The sentencing demand follows Kim's indictment last year, which occurred roughly one year after her husband left office. Special prosecutors stated that Kim has shown "no remorse" for her actions. In a brief comment to reporters, Kim said only, "I truly repent."
