The Korea Times reports that a special counsel team has sought a fine of 10 million won ($7,150) for former President Yoon Suk Yeol during his appellate trial on perjury charges. The request was made at the Seoul High Court, following the acquittal of Yoon by a lower court in November. The special counsel team, led by Cho Eun-suk, argued that Yoon had only decided to call a Cabinet meeting for a martial law declaration on December 3, 2024, at Han Duck-soo's suggestion, contrary to the lower court's ruling that Yoon had plans to convene the meeting regardless of Han's proposal.
Yoon is currently facing multiple trials following his failed martial law bid and subsequent removal from office.
