South Korean Court Jails Unification Church Leader for Corruption Linked to Ousted Yoon Government

A South Korean court sentenced Han Hak-ja, 83, the Unification Church president, to two years for bribery and illegal political funding tied to ousted President Yoon Suk-yeol's administration. She gave luxury necklaces to the former first lady and funneled funds to a pro-Yoon lawmaker. Prosecutors sought 13 years. Han plans to appeal. Rarely does a first-instance ruling send a senior religious leader to prison.
