  "summary": "Former Defense Intelligence Command head Moon Sang-ho has been acquitted of leaking military secrets to his predecessor, Noh Sang-won, ahead of martial law declaration in 2024, according to a ruling by the Seoul Central District Court. The court found Moon not guilty of leaking information about classified military missions and directives issued by then Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun to Noh on December 2, 2024. While Moon was sentenced to a two-year prison term in June for colluding with Kim to provide Noh with personal details of about 40 DIC agents, the most recent case saw the court determine that Moon's remarks did not provide Noh with information beyond what he already knew.",
