韩国前总统朴槿惠再被判8年徒刑

A South Korean court sentenced former president Park Geun-hye to eight more years in prison Friday on charges related to 2016 parliamentary elections.

According to Seoul Central District Court documents, Park, 66, was sentenced to six years in prison for receiving nearly $3 billion from the National Intelligence Service, and two additional years for improperly interfering in the selection of parliamentary candidates.

Park, who has denied any wrongdoing, did not appear in court Friday.

Park is serving a separate 24-year jail term, after a lower court found her guilty of other corruption charges in April, including bribery, abuse of power and coercion.
