慰安婦団体前トップの有罪確定　寄付金を私的流用―韓国最高裁

　【ソウル時事】韓国最高裁は１４日、元慰安婦支援団体の寄付金を私的に流用したとして業務上横領罪などに問われた同団体前理事長の尹美香被告について、被告、検察双方の上告を棄却した。二審判決の懲役１年６月、執行猶予３年が確定した。
　一審のソウル西部地裁は、業務上横領罪のみ有罪とし罰金刑にとどめたが、二審のソウル高裁は一転して有罪範囲を拡大。一審で無罪とされた政府補助金の不正受給なども有罪とし、横領金額についても一審より多い約８０００万ウォン（約８９０万円）と認定し、懲役刑が言い渡された。（2024/11/14-17:12）

A guilty sentence was finalized Thursday for a former leader of a group supporting former Korean "comfort women," who provided sex to Japanese troops before and during World War II.
   On the day, South Korea's Supreme Court rejected appeals by the defendant and the prosecution against a lower court's ruling.
   Yoon Mee-hyang, former head of the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance for the Issues of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan, was initially fined by a district court for embezzling donations to the group.
   But a high court found her also guilty of fraudulently obtaining government subsidies and sentenced her to one year and six months in prison, suspended for three years.
   Following the Supreme Court's decision, the group issued a comment that it takes the decision seriously and will return the government subsidies immediately.
