Milan, 24 April (LaPresse) – A team of special prosecutors has sought a 30-year prison sentence for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, accusing him of “aiding the enemy” by allegedly ordering the launch of military drones over Pyongyang in 2024. This was reported by the Yonhap news agency. The team, led by special prosecutor Cho Eun-suk, has also asked the Seoul Central District Court to sentence former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun to 25 years in prison on the same charge. The special prosecutors believe that the alleged drone launch in October 2024 was intended to provoke a North Korean retaliation, in an attempt to use it as a pretext for Yoon’s failed attempt to impose martial law two months later. This was the reason why the former president was sentenced to life imprisonment last February.
