The Island
|August 30, 2025
Kim Keon Hee, the wife of South Korea's ousted former President Yoon Suk Yeol, has been indicted for bribery and other charges, a special prosecution team said on Friday (29 August), amid a widening probe into the country's martial law crisis and scandals involving the once powerful couple, according to CNN.
-
Both Yoon and Kim have been arrested and are in jail, with Yoon already undergoing trial on charges that include insurrection following his ouster in April over a botched bid to impose martial law in December.
The couple are under separate investigations by special prosecutors appointed after Yoon's removal from office and President Lee Jae Myung took office.
