Although the prosecution sought the death penalty, the court ultimately sentenced the former president to life imprisonment.
Recall that in early December 2024, Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law, stating the need to "fight against anti-state forces supporting North Korea." This decision was in effect for only a few hours, after which parliament revoked it. As a result, impeachment proceedings were initiated against the president, and Yoon Suk-yeol was removed from office and subsequently arrested.
