Prosecutors seek 30-year prison sentence for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol
檢察官對韓國前總統尹錫悅求處 30 年有期徒刑
As of April 2026, former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, already serving a life sentence for insurrection, faces a new legal challenge.
截至2026年4月,前南韓總統尹錫悅因煽動叛亂罪已被判處無期徒刑,如今又面臨一項新的法律挑戰。
Prosecutors are seeking an additional 30-year prison sentence on charges of general treason.
檢方以犯下通敵叛國罪為由,要求再追加30年有期徒刑。
The prosecution alleges that Yoon ordered unauthorized drone infiltrations into North Korea in October 2024 to manufacture a security crisis.
檢方指控尹錫悅於2024年10月下令進行未經授權的無人機滲透北韓行動,旨在製造安全危機。
They argue this was a calculated move to create a pretext for his failed declaration of emergency martial law in December 2024, which he allegedly intended to use to crush political opposition.
他們主張,這是尹錫悅經過算計的一步棋,旨在為他2024年12月宣佈的緊急戒嚴失敗找藉口,而他據稱是想利用該戒嚴來鎮壓政治反對派。
Yoon was removed from office in April 2025 following an impeachment process triggered by the martial law crisis.
尹錫悅因戒嚴危機引發彈劾程序,於2025年4月被免職。
Since then, he has faced multiple convictions, including a five-year term for obstructing justice and a life sentence for insurrection.
自那時起,他已面臨多項定罪,包括妨礙司法公正被判五年徒刑,以及因煽動叛亂罪被判無期徒刑。
This latest request marks a significant development in the high-profile legal reckoning that has gripped South Korea since the political turmoil of 2024.
這項最新的加刑請求,標誌著自2024年政治動盪以來,籠罩南韓那場備受矚目的法律清算出現了重大發展。
