Kim Keon-hee, wife of former ROK President Yoon Suk-yeol, was sentenced to seven years in prison on corruption charges, including the sale of government posts, live footage showed Friday.

The Seoul Central District Court handed down the sentence, saying Kim knowingly accepted luxury goods that are effectively unattainable for ordinary people.

The team led by independent counsel Min Joong-ki, which investigated corruption allegations involving the former presidential couple, had sought a 7.5-year prison sentence for Kim, accusing her of selling public offices in exchange for expensive jewelry and other luxury goods.
