Appellate Ruling Today on Former President Yoon's Election Law Case, with 39.7 Billion Won at Stake for PPP

The appellate sentencing hearing for former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act—which determines whether the People Power Party must return nearly 40 billion won in election expenses—will be held today (September 29).

In the first trial, Yoon was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, suspended for three years, on charges including disseminating false information by stating that he never met Jeon Seong-bae, known as "Master Geonjin," together with his wife, Kim Keonhee.

If Yoon is ultimately sentenced to a fine of 1 million won or more and the invalidation of his election victory is finalized, the People Power Party will have to return the 39.7 billion won it received in presidential campaign expense reimbursements.
