A South Korean court on Friday sentenced former South Korean President Park Geun-hye to an additional eight years for abusing state funds and violating election laws.

She now faces the prospect of more than three decades behind bars.

She's already serving a 24-year prison term over a massive corruption scandal that led to her removal from office last year.

Seoul Central District Court on Friday found her guilty of causing substantial losses to state coffers by unlawfully receiving about 3 billion won ($2.6 million) from chiefs of the National Intelligence Service during her presidency and sentenced her to six years in prison.

However, she was found not guilty of bribery charges related to the money transfers.

The court separately sentenced Park to two years in prison for breaking election laws by meddling in her party candidate's nomination while attempting to win more spots for her loyalists ahead of the parliamentary elections in 2016.

While Park's prison term currently adds up to 32 years, this could change, and potentially get even longer, depending on rulings of appeals courts.

Prosecutors appealed Park's 24-year term on charges including bribery and abuse of state power and are now demanding 30 years in prison.

The Seoul High Court will rule on the case on Aug. 24.

And OBJ, IBB, Abdulsalam and Jonathan are walking freely.

Lol......Gender ain't the issue here, but offender being punished.

Man or woman, how many have we sentenced in our country?

Except jailing thieves in opposition parties for few months.


Someone stole ₦100billion within four years in office, got arrested, locked up for like 6months - 1year, granted bail and ₦30billion worth of asset/cash seized from him.

Then we forget about it and he's walking a free man.

What message are we passing to others here?

If you are going to that office, get yourself prepared, steal like ₦150billion, you will be arrested later, jailed for some months, but you will be released on bail and ₦50illion worth of asset and cash will be taken away from you and the remaining ₦100billion is yours a free man.

Wah happen to our patricia etteh.. then.. our former speaker..

If you going to that office too, get prepared, steal 150Billion, you will be arrested, jailed for some months, you will be released on bail and 50Billion worth of asset and will be taken away from you and the 100billion is your a free man.

This is how it should be in a state where the Principle of Rule of law and separation of powers actually works unlike in Nigeria where non of the past presidents that embezzled public funds has been prosecuted.

Not only them, add tinubu, El ruffa, Lia Muhammad , etc and all Nigerian politicians to your list, they are all bunch of thieves, they deserved to be stoned to death and their body thrown in the forest.

That money these people are angry that she stole is what politicians dash their girlfriends here.
Election meddling is nothing like a crime too.
These people are just too mean and have no sense of humour at all.

why are they treating their ex president like this?
Shameful!!

Everybody is equal before the law.

If you did the crime, be prepared to do the time!

This is country where things work, not in Nigeria where Party, ethnicity and religious sentiments reigns..... this Country Called Nigeria is a mistake.

Wow
