周五，首尔一家法院判处一名前海军陆战队指挥官三年监禁，原因是他对2023年一名年轻海军陆战队员在搜救行动中死亡一事负有责任。
首尔中央地方法院裁定，退役二星将军、前海军陆战队第1师师长林圣根（Lim Seong-geun）未能履行安全义务，罪名成立。尽管部队在进行水下搜救，他仍下令于2023年7月在醴泉展开搜救任务，且未提供救生衣或其他必要装备。20岁的蔡洙根（Chae Su-geun）下士在涨水的溪流中被卷走身亡。法院指出，林圣根的命令直接增加了风险，且他负有最大责任，并强调当时该任务的指挥权已经移交至陆军。特别检察官团队曾寻求判处其五年监禁。此外，法院还判处前海军陆战队第7旅旅长朴尚贤（Park Sang-hyun）18个月监禁。
