A South Korean appeals court on Tuesday increased the sentence for Kim Keon-hee, wife of South Korea's former President Yoon Suk-yeol, from 20 months to four years in prison on appeal in a corruption case.

The Seoul High Court handed down the sentence during a hearing that was televised live, after finding her partially guilty of involvement in a stock price manipulation scheme and guilty of accepting luxury gifts from officials linked to the Unification Church, according to Yonhap News Agency.

In addition to the prison term, the court also fined Kim 50 million won (about $34,000).
