Ex-S. Korea PM faces fifteen years over martial law attempt last year
Han is anticipated to be the first to receive a verdict in the case, with the court previously announcing that a ruling is expected either on January 21 or 28. A member of the special counsel team stated, "Though the defendant was, in fact, the only person who could have stopped the insurrection situation of this case, he abandoned his duty as a servant of the entire nation and took part in the insurrection crime through a series of acts before and after the declaration of martial law."
Earlier this August, prosecutors formally indicted Han on charges of supporting ex-President Yoon’s failed attempt to impose martial law in December. Yoon was removed from office in April by the Constitutional Court due to the unsuccessful bid and has been in detention since July.
