The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a two-year prison sentence against People Power Party lawmaker Kwon Sung-dong, who was indicted on charges of accepting 100 million won ($67,200) in political funds in exchange for lobbying on behalf of the Unification Church. The ruling strips Kwon of his National Assembly seat.
The Supreme Court's Second Division, presided over by Justice Eom Sang-pil, dismissed Kwon's final appeal in the political funds law violation case and confirmed the two-year prison sentence along with a surcharge of 100 million won.
