A South Korean appeals court has increased the prison sentence for former first lady Kim Keon-hee from 20 months to four years. The court found Kim guilty of stock price manipulation and accepting luxury gifts. The harsher sentence represents a significant escalation in the legal proceedings against the wife of former President Moon Jae-in, reflecting the court's view that her crimes warranted more severe punishment than initially imposed by lower courts.
