Jin Jianxi sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in first-instance trial.

On the afternoon of the 28th local time, a South Korean court handed down a first-instance verdict on the illegal suspicion of former President Yoon Suk-yeo's wife, Kim Geon-hee, including stock price manipulation and receiving high-priced gifts from religious groups. Kim Geon-hee was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison. The cases involving Kim Geon-hee include manipulation of stock prices of German car companies, receiving high-priced luxury goods, intervention in the relocation of the presidential office and official residence, and receiving illegal political funds. Many suspicions are suspected of violating South Korea's Capital Markets Act, Political Funds Act, and Specific Crime Aggravation Act provisions on "mediated bribery," using their positions and influence to indirectly accept bribes. The court's verdict that day was the first instance verdict made by a South Korean court on Kim Geon-hee's multiple suspicions. The Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Geon-hee on August 12, 2025, and she has been in detention ever since.
