Special counsel appeals Seoul mayor's acquittal in political funds case

The special counsel team has appealed the acquittal of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon in a political funds case related to the 2021 mayoral by-election, challenging the appellate court's dismissal of key testimony. The case involves allegations of illegal payments for opinion polls from a political supporter. The appellate court had overturned a lower court's guilty verdict and fine, which would have removed Oh from office.
