韩国前总统尹锡悦违反选举法案二审维持原判:一年六个月徒刑、缓刑三年

韩国首尔——首尔高等法院刑事第2-1庭11月4日驳回韩国前总统尹锡悦的上诉,认定他在2022年总统竞选期间公布虚假言论、违反《公职选举法》,维持首尔中央地方法院今年7月的一审判决:有期徒刑一年六个月,缓刑三年。
法院认定两项言论构成虚假事实公布。其一是尹锡悦2021年12月14日在冠勋俱乐部主办的辩论中,否认自己曾把律师李南硕介绍给前龙山税务署署长尹佑镇;其二是他2022年1月17日在佛教界论坛成立仪式采访中,称自己经党内人士介绍才认识巫师全晟培(法名「建真」),且从未与妻子金建希一同见过此人。法院认定两项说法均与事实不符,并指出尹锡悦始终以借口回应,侵害了选民作出正确选择的权利,损害了选举的公平与程序正当性。
该案由特检组提起公诉。特检组在10月13日的二审结案庭审中请求法院维持一审量刑,并表示结合当时的支持率走势与最终得票差距,应认定涉案行为影响了选举结果。宣判后,尹锡悦的律师团称判决多有不公、将向大法院上诉争取无罪;按规定,尹锡悦一方有七天时间提出上诉。
若大法院终审维持这一量刑,尹锡悦2022年的当选将被宣告无效,其所属的国民力量党须向国家选举委员会返还当年总统选举获得报销的397亿韩元(约合2960万美元)竞选费用。
尹锡悦另因2024年12月戒严事件面对内乱案审理:该案一审于今年2月判处其无期徒刑,二审仍在首尔高等法院进行,特检组在二审中再次求处死刑。
Seoul Appeals Court Upholds Yoon Suk Yeol Election Law Conviction With Suspended 18-Month Sentence
Seoul, South Korea — A Seoul High Court panel on November 4 dismissed former President Yoon Suk Yeol's appeal and upheld his conviction for violating the Public Official Election Act by publishing false statements during his 2022 presidential campaign. The court kept the lower court's sentence from July: 18 months in prison, suspended for three years.
The court found two statements to be false. At a Kwanhun Club debate on December 14, 2021, Yoon denied having introduced lawyer Lee Nam-seok to Yoon Woo-jin, a former head of the Yongsan tax office. In an interview at a Buddhist forum launch on January 17, 2022, he said he had been introduced to the shaman Jeon Seong-bae, known as Geonjin, by a party official and had never met him together with his wife, Kim Keon Hee. Judges ruled both statements untrue and said Yoon's repeated excuses had infringed voters' right to make an informed choice and undermined the fairness of the election.
The case was prosecuted by a special counsel team, which at the final appeal hearing on October 13 asked the court to keep the first-trial sentence, arguing the falsehoods should be seen as having affected the outcome given approval-rating trends and the narrow vote margin. Yoon's lawyers called the ruling unjust and said they would appeal to the Supreme Court within the seven-day window.
If the Supreme Court finalizes the sentence, Yoon's 2022 election victory will be voided, and his People Power Party will have to return 39.7 billion won (about $29.6 million) in state-reimbursed campaign expenses to the National Election Commission.
Yoon is separately on trial over his December 2024 martial law declaration. A district court sentenced him to life in prison in February for leading an insurrection, and the special counsel has again sought the death penalty in that appeal, which remains before the Seoul High Court.
