An appeals court on Tuesday sentenced Rep. Kweon Seong-dong of the main opposition People Power Party to a two-year prison term on charges of accepting illegal political funds from the Unification Church. The Seoul High Court handed down the sentence after finding him guilty of accepting 100 million won (68,000) from a church official seeking favors from the former administration of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The sentence matched the ruling of a lower court in January. (Yonhap)
