「議員職を失った」“タマネギ男”元法相…懲役2年の「実刑判決」=韓国
”Onion Man” former justice minister ”lost his parliamentary position” ... 2-year prison sentence = South Korea
On the 12th, Cho Kuk, aka "Onion Man" and former Minister of Justice of South Korea, head of the Fatherland Reform Party, was sentenced to two years in prison by the Supreme Court on charges of illegally admitting his daughter and son to college and violating the anti-solicitation law.
With his sentence finalized, Cho lost his "legislative position." This means that he will serve two years in prison, and will lose the right to run for office for the next five years, and will also be barred from running in the next presidential election.
He will also not be able to participate in the vote on the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol on the 14th.
Hwang Eun-ha, floor leader of the Fatherland Reform Party, held a press conference before the Supreme Court ruling that day.
In response to a question from reporters about what to do if Chairman Cho is found guilty, he said, "If a situation arises where we have to take over a proportional representation seat, we will complete the procedure as quickly as possible and have the successor take over the votes."
"We will allow them to take part in the decision-making process," he said.
