A special counsel team requested an 18-month prison sentence for Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon on Wednesday over charges he accepted illegal political funds.
The request came during closing arguments in his trial at the Seoul Central District Court. Prosecutors said the mayor accepted 300 million won in illegal funds from a local developer between 2020 and 2021. The team also asked the court to impose a fine of 300 million won and to deprive him of some civil rights for two years after any prison term.
Oh has denied the charges and stated he will appeal any guilty verdict. His trial is ongoing, with a verdict expected later this year. The case involves allegations that Oh received funds in exchange for favors related to a development project in Seoul.
