Special counsel seeks 2-yr sentence for ex-President Yoon over perjury
By Lee Haye-ah
SEOUL, April 16 (Yonhap) -- A special counsel team on Thursday sought a two-year prison term for former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of giving false testimony during former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's insurrection trial.
Special counsel Cho Eun-suk's team requested the sentence during the first and final hearing of Yoon's perjury trial at the Seoul Central District Court.
Yoon, who is already standing trial on insurrection and other charges stemming from his failed martial law bid, is accused of giving the false impression that the Cabinet meeting he convened before declaring martial law was planned even before Han suggested it.
