A South Korean appeals court on Tuesday handed down a four-year prison term to Kim Keon Hee, the country’s former First Lady, following her conviction on charges of stock manipulation and accepting bribes.
The Tuesday ruling represented an increase from her previous sentence, as the appeals court decided to impose harsher punishment for the financial crimes.
Kim Keon Hee faced charges related to illegally manipulating stock prices and receiving bribes during her time in the public spotlight.
