South Korean court gives ousted President Yoon suspended jail term for lying during campaign

A South Korean court convicted former President Yoon Suk Yeol of making false statements during his 2022 campaign, sentencing him to 18 months in prison suspended for three years. The ruling may require his party, People Power Party, to return 40 billion won in election expenses if upheld, as Yoon's false claims could have influenced voters' judgments.
