In December 2024, South Korean prosecutors formally requested the court to sentence President Yoon Suk Yeol to 10 years in prison on charges of instigating insurrection. This unprecedented move stems from the political crisis triggered by Yoon’s declaration of nationwide martial law on December 3, 2024. Prosecutors argue that Yoon unilaterally imposed martial law without prior approval from the National Assembly and in the absence of any clear national security threat, thereby severely violating constitutional order and constituting an act aimed at subverting the nation’s constitutional system under the charge of ‘insurrection.’ Under Article 87 of South Korea’s Criminal Act, insurrection carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment or even death; however, considering factors such as the absence of large-scale violence, prosecutors recommended a 10-year sentence. This marks the first time in South Korea’s constitutional history that a sitting president has been formally prosecuted for insurrection with a specific sentencing recommendation, highlighting the judiciary’s role in checking executive power. The case remains under judicial review, with the final verdict pending court deliberation.
2024年12月，韩国检方正式向法院提出量刑建议，要求以涉嫌发动内乱罪判处总统尹锡悦10年有期徒刑。这一罕见举措源于尹锡悦在2024年12月3日宣布全国戒严所引发的政治风波。检方认为，尹锡悦在未获得国会批准、也未面临明确国家安全威胁的情况下单方面宣布戒严，严重违反宪法秩序，构成‘内乱罪’中的‘意图颠覆国家宪政秩序’行为。根据韩国《刑法》第87条，内乱罪最高可处无期徒刑或死刑，但检方综合考虑其未造成大规模流血冲突等因素，建议判处10年监禁。此事件标志着韩国宪政史上首次有现任总统因涉嫌内乱被检方正式起诉并提出具体量刑建议，凸显了韩国政治体制中司法对行政权力的制衡机制。目前案件仍在审理中，最终判决将由法院依法作出。
