SEOUL: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will receive his first court verdict on charges stemming from his December 2024 imposition of martial law later this week, officials said on Thursday.
The Seoul Central District Court will hold the sentencing hearing of Yoon’s trial on special obstruction of public duty and other charges in connection to his failed martial law bid at 2 p.m. Friday.
It marks Yoon’s first sentencing of the eight cases he is standing trial on, including over charges he led an insurrection through his December 3 martial law declaration in 2024.
