Mother-in-law falsifying bank deposits
On November 16, 2023 local time, Choi Eun-soon, mother-in-law of South Korean President Yoon Seok-yuol, was sentenced to one year in prison for falsifying bank balance certificates.

The court also said, "There was no misunderstanding in the original ruling that affected the outcome of the ruling."
Choi admitted during a previous trial to falsifying personal documents, but denied other charges. However, the courts of first and second instance found her guilty of all the charges against her and decided to sentence her to one year in prison. Choi will remain in prison until July 2024 as long as he is not paroled or pardoned, the report said.
According to a previous report by Yonhap News agency, Choi Eun-soon was accused of forging a bank balance certificate in 2013 when he purchased a piece of land in Dochon-dong, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, falsely claiming to deposit a total of 34.7 billion won (about 194 million yuan) in batches. She is also alleged to have conspired with others to file a lawsuit over the land, demanding the return of the deposit and submitting forged proof of deposit balance to the court. In addition, she is suspected of registration under a borrowed name in this transaction, in violation of the real name registration law of real estate.
In December 2021, the court of first Instance found Choi guilty of falsifying certificates and sentenced her to one year in prison. Choi called the sentence inappropriate and appealed. On July 21, 2023, the South Korean court rejected Choi's appeal, upheld the first instance court's decision, sentenced her to one year in prison, and arrested her in court.
