The Supreme Court of South Korea has finalized a four-year prison sentence for an active-duty army sergeant convicted of selling classified information to a Chinese intelligence agency. The court confirmed the previous decision made by the Seoul High Court, which also imposed a fine of 20 million won and ordered the forfeiture of 19.07 million won. The leaked materials included sensitive details regarding joint military drills conducted by South Korea and the United States. This ruling concludes the legal proceedings against the soldier, who was apprehended while serving in the military for his involvement in the unauthorized transfer of confidential defense data to a foreign entity.
