South Korea's Ex-President Sentenced To 24 Years For Corruption

quote [ "A court in Seoul has found former South Korean President Park Geun-hye guilty on a raft of charges in the sprawling corruption case that led to her impeachment.

She has been sentenced to 24 years in prison — effectively a life sentence for the 66-year-old. Park was also fined nearly $17 million." ]

from NYT, "Almost all of South Korea’s presidents have seen their reputations tarnished toward the end of their tenure or during their retirement because of corruption scandals involving them, their relatives or aides."

a bit of a test post. Steele- post prep is thoroughly broken for me and fails on multiple pages about this story, including this one.
