TL;DR

Former President Yoon Suk Yeol was sentenced to five years in prison for fabricating an official document to justify a martial-law declaration and for obstructing a police attempt to detain him on insurrection charges; the ruling marks the first of eight trials stemming from his martial-law episode, with a separate insurrection verdict due on Feb. 19 and prosecutors seeking the death penalty for that count.
