SEOUL (Reuters),JULY 20 2018 -A South Korean court sentenced former president Park Geun-hye to eight more years in prison on Friday after finding her guilty on charges of causing loss of government funds and interfering in a 2016 parliamentary election. Park has already been sentenced to 24 years in jail after she was found guilty by a lower court in April of separate charges including bribery, abuse of power and coercion.
All sentences must be served consecutively if they are upheld, a court spokeswoman said.
