South Korean prosecutors have requested a two-year prison term for former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of perjury, alleging he gave false testimony during the insurrection trial of former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo. At a hearing in Seoul Central District Court on Thursday, the special counsel's team argued that Yoon falsely implied a Cabinet meeting held before his December 2024 martial law declaration had been planned independently, when in fact he had adopted Han's suggestion to lend the move procedural legitimacy. The case adds to Yoon's mounting legal troubles: he was sentenced in February to life imprisonment in the main insurrection trial and is currently facing a total of eight separate court proceedings.
