Appeals Court Ruling on Yoon Suk Yeol's Election Law Case to Conclude Today, with 39.7 Billion Won at Stake for People Power Party

An appellate court is scheduled to deliver its verdict today (September 29) on former President Yoon Suk Yeol's Public Official Election Act violation case, which will determine whether the People Power Party must return nearly 40 billion won in reimbursed election expenses.

Former President Yoon was sentenced in the first trial to one year and six months in prison, suspended for three years, on charges including making false statements by denying that he had met fortune teller Jeon Seong-bae, known as "Geonjin Beopsa," together with his wife, Kim Keonhee.

If former President Yoon is ultimately sentenced to a fine of 1 million won or more and the nullification of his election is finalized, the People Power Party must return the 39.7 billion won it received in presidential campaign cost reimbursements.
