Court upholds 7-yr prison term for Yoon for obstruction of justice

People watch a live TV broadcast at Seoul Station in the capital on July 9, 2026, of the Supreme Court holding a hearing to give the verdict for a trial of former President Yoon Suk Yeol over allegations that he obstructed justice by blocking investigators from detaining him in the wake of his failed martial law bid in 2024. The court upheld a seven-year prison term for Yoon, its first ruling for the ousted former president, who has been standing a total of eight trials in connection with his surprise declaration of martial law.
