SEOUL – Kim Keon-hee, wife of South Korea's former president Yoon Suk-yeol, was sentenced to seven years in prison for corruption, including the sale of government posts, live footage showed Friday.

The Seoul Central District Court handed down the prison sentence, saying Kim unhesitatingly received luxury goods that are practically unattainable for ordinary people.

The team of Min Joong-ki, an independent counsel who led investigations into corruption allegations involving the former presidential couple, sought a 7.5-year sentence for Kim for selling public offices in exchange for high-priced jewelry and luxury goods.
