What crimes did park geun-hye commit and what is his future fate?

20 17 March 10, the Korean Constitutional Court announced in June 10 that it was in favor of impeaching President park geun-hye, and park geun-hye became the first president to be impeached and removed from office in Korean constitutional history. According to the regulations, park geun-hye will be removed from the presidency and deprived of judicial immunity, and South Korea must hold a general election within 60 days. The impeachment case pronounced South Korea's national concern, and the impeachment case was pronounced live on TV. In response to the fierce reaction of the two factions after the verdict was pronounced, the South Korean police stepped up their vigilance in Seoul that day, and dispatched 210.6 million police force to guard official facilities such as the Constitutional Court and Cheongwadae.

The process of judgment attracted national attention and the judges unanimously agreed.

Li Zhen Mei, Acting President of the Constitutional Court, began to read out the judgment on the impeachment case of the President around Seoul time 1 1 (Beijing time 10). After reading the summary of the judgment, Li Zhenmei finally announced that eight judges of the court unanimously agreed to impeach.

After the last trial of Park Geun-hye's impeachment case ended on February 27, the Korean Constitutional Court began a closed-door review on February 28. These days, eight judges have been discussing this case almost every day, preparing to draft a judgment. South Korea's "Central Daily News" quoted sources inside the Constitutional Court as saying that because the verdict may not be announced until the last minute, the judges prepared two completely different judgments in advance.

One of the judgments was to pass the impeachment case. If this verdict is read, park geun-hye will be immediately removed from the presidency, becoming the first impeached president in Korean history, and the next presidential election will be held within 60 days. Another verdict is to dismiss the impeachment case. If this judgment comes into effect, park geun-hye will be reinstated until the expiration of his term in June 65438+February this year.

As the case is highly concerned by South Korea, it will be pronounced on the spot according to the precedent of the impeachment case of then President Roh Moo-hyun in 2004. In the impeachment case of Roh Moo-hyun in 2004, the judges of the Constitutional Court voted only one hour before sentencing, and finally dismissed the impeachment case, and Roh Moo-hyun regained power.

Different from the impeachment case of Roh Moo-hyun in 2004, according to the revised relevant laws, judges will no longer vote anonymously, and the opinions of each judge will be made public. South Korea's Constitutional Court initially had nine judges. After former President Park Han-cheol stepped down at the end of this year 1, the number of judges was reduced to eight. According to Korean law, the approval of impeachment cases requires the consent of at least two-thirds of the nine judges of the Constitutional Court, that is, six, and this number requirement will not change due to the departure of individual judges. In other words, among the existing eight judges, six need to agree to pass the impeachment case.

Finally, the character speaks out to accept the verdict.

The opposition camp voiced on the 9th, demanding that park geun-hye guarantee to accept the ruling of the Constitutional Court. * * * Democratic Party whip Yu said: "The last role that park geun-hye can play as president is to accept any judgment to ensure national unity." He also said that the opposition camp is more worried about the situation that may be triggered after the judgment is announced than the judgment itself.

Opposition parties split from the ruling party also urged park geun-hye to give assurances. According to the Orthodox Party, park geun-hye should declare that he is willing to accept any judgment to avoid the worst result. In the face of the opposition party's appeal, the ruling Free Korea Party kept silent on the 9th and held a closed-door meeting. Some political analysts said that the ruling party camp is adopting a strategy of "staying put" and waiting for the verdict to be announced before responding.

Around this ruling, park geun-hye said a few days ago that he could only wait for the impeachment judgment. From repeatedly apologizing to denying, from accusing someone of behind-the-scenes manipulation to refusing to appear in court to resist the investigation, from seclusion to waiting for the final trial of fate, we can say that his mind is complicated after his cronies "intervened in politics"

The ruling affects the highest martial law, and public opinion is difficult to recover.

The Korean government is ready for the outcome of the case. Acting President Jing Anhuan held an emergency State Councilor's meeting in Seoul government building on the 9th, and discussed relevant solutions for different trial results of Park Geun-hye's impeachment case. Earlier, the South Korean police also ordered the Seoul area to enter the highest level of alert, so as to prevent nationals from overreacting after the announcement of today's trial results.

There are indications that no matter what the final verdict is, it is difficult to recover the division and distrust of Korean public opinion.

Analysts say that "Sade" has become a fait accompli in South Korea, and no matter who the next president is, it is difficult to change this situation. Even if the opposition party has a great chance to come to power in the general election, it is difficult to prevent "Sade" from entering Korea. Since park geun-hye's "interference in politics" scandal, the US government and the ruling conservative forces in South Korea have been worried about falling asleep, so they have accelerated the implementation and hope to complete the deployment within the current government.

Impeachment content

* * * Suspected of 13.

The impeachment case is divided into two parts: "violation of the Constitution" and "violation of the law".

In terms of violating the constitutional provisions, the impeachment case pointed out that park geun-hye instructed Cui Shunshi and other cronies to interfere in government affairs such as policies, state meetings, government personnel appointments and dismissals, and exerted influence, forcing enterprises to donate money, which failed to effectively respond after the Vietnam-Vietnam accident and violated the relevant provisions of the Constitution.

In violation of laws and regulations, the impeachment case regards the donations made by Samsung, Lotte, SK and other enterprise groups to two corruption-related foundations as bribes, and finds that park geun-hye is suspected of taking bribes. The final investigation results released by the Special Prosecution Team on March 6th showed that five new suspects were added, including bribery, abuse of power and violation of medical law, and park geun-hye was suspected of 13.

Future destiny

Otherwise, you will face jail.

According to Korean law, the president can receive 70% salary every month after retirement and be equipped with security personnel. But the impeached park geun-hye will not be able to enjoy the post-retirement treatment of the president. In addition to retaining the security service and shortening it by five years, other privileges are written off. Yonhap News Agency said that after being removed from the presidency by the Constitutional Court, park geun-hye had to "clean up the bedding and sweep the floor out of the house, go home and redo the cloth, and not be an official for five years". Park geun-hye originally planned to repair the house in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for receiving guests after retirement. However, it is difficult to guarantee a smooth resignation after the "confidant door" incident, and the plan to repair the house is no longer there. In addition, if the prosecution requests the court to approve the arrest, park geun-hye will face imprisonment. By then, prison life will become a bigger dilemma for park geun-hye.
