the first guilty verdict

In November 2018, the first guilty verdict against former President Geun-Hye Park is confirmed. In 2016, ahead of the general election, she was found guilty of violating the Public Official Election Act by interfering with the nomination process of the former Saenuri Party and was sentenced to prison. The Chief Prosecutor at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office who handled the case was President Yoon Seok-yeol, and the Deputy Prosecutor was Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People Power Party.
The core allegation was a violation of the Election Act, which prohibits public officials from interfering in intra-party primary campaigns. The meaning is that "because the President is also a public official, it means that if it is confirmed that there was interference in the nomination process, penalties will be imposed.
