South Korea Court Gives Unification Church Leader 2 Years Prison
The court said Han provided money and luxury gifts to politicians and Kim Keon Hee, rejecting her denial of wrongdoing.
- On Monday, the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Unification Church leader Han Hak-ja to two years in prison for bribery involving gifts provided to former First Lady Kim Keon Hee.
- The court determined that Han, widow of church founder Sun Myung Moon, provided luxury items including a Chanel bag and necklace to Kim Keon Hee through an intermediary to secure political favors.
- While special counsel Min Joong-ki sought a 13-year prison term, the court handed down a two-year sentence for the 83-year-old, who denied wrongdoing and claimed subordinates acted without her knowledge.
- Charges regarding a "casino gambling trip to the US," overseas political funding, and embezzlement were dismissed, as the court ruled these fell outside the scope of the special counsel's investigation.
- Separately, former First Lady Kim Keon Hee has also been convicted of graft charges, highlighting legal fallout surrounding alleged collusion between the Unification Church and the administration of former President Yoon Suk Yeol.
