首尔一家法院周五裁定，前第一夫人金建希因收受贿赂以换取职位任命和个人恩惠，被判处7年有期徒刑。
首尔中央地方法院在金建希于去年12月被起诉后，裁定其所受指控全部成立。她被控收受了价值约3亿韩元的礼物，其中包括一名建筑公司董事长为换取其女婿获得政府职位而赠送的梵克雅宝项链，以及金龟饰品、迪奥包和江诗丹顿手表。
审判长赵善杓在电视转播的听证会上表示，金建希无视其职位的社会责任，并试图掩盖自己的行为。此前寻求判处七年半监禁的特别检察官闵仲基团队对该裁决表示欢迎。
金建希的律师表示将提起上诉。她此前已在另一起腐败案的二审中被判处4年监禁，并因涉嫌在2022年大选前与统一教存在关联而面临另一起审判。
X平台上的初步反应集中在韩国前第一夫人金建希因受贿被判处7年监禁一事。许多来自非洲的用户表达了对本国缺乏此类问责制的沮丧，并经常将其与当地腐败现象进行对比。一些人呼吁加大惩处力度，而另一些人则分享事实更新或提及罚款和没收礼物的细节。舆论既有对司法独立的肯定，也有对其他地区政治公正性的怀疑。

무기징역에 처해야만 합니다. 공무원보다 더 엄격한 잣대를 대야하죠. 그리고 이전에 김건희에게 무죄를 선고한 판사와 미진한 수사와 기소를 가볍게 한 검사 공무원들도 인사위원회 회부하여 처벌하여 면직시켜야 하고 김건희에게 거액의 뇌물을 바친 김상민검사도 면칙과 처벌을 해야만 합니다.

The Seoul High Court is set to hold the final hearing on Wednesday in the corruption trial of former first lady Kim Keon Hee. Both Kim, who received a 20-month prison sentence in the lower court, and special counsel Min Joong-ki have appealed. The court will hear Kim's final statement and decide on the sentencing date.
A special counsel team demanded a 30-year prison term for former President Yoon Suk Yeol on charges of benefiting the enemy by allegedly ordering military drones over Pyongyang in 2024. The team, led by Cho Eun-suk, also requested 25 years for former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun on the same charges. Prosecutors believe the October 2024 dispatch aimed to provoke North Korean retaliation as a pretext for Yoon's failed martial law bid.
