Seoul, June 19 /Xinhua/ — The former Minister of Defense of the Republic of Korea Kim Eun-hyeon was sentenced on Friday to three years in prison for disclosing military secrets.
It is reported that from October to November 2024 he handed over a list containing the names of about 40 special forces agents of the military intelligence command to the former head of the department for the creation of an investigative group under martial law conditions. At that time, he was a civilian.
The team of special prosecutor Cho Yi’n Soka, who led the investigation into the charges against former President Yun So El for rebellion and other crimes, requested to sentence Kim En Hen to five years in prison.
In February, the ex-minister was already sentenced to 30 years in prison for his key role in organizing the riot linked to the declaration of martial law by President Yoon Suk-yeol in December 2024.
Last week, the former defense minister was sentenced again — a 30-year prison term for state treason related to the penetration of drones into the People’s Republic of China.
Yun Sok El was sentenced to life imprisonment for rebellion and 30 years of imprisonment for treason.
