South Korea's Supreme Court has upheld a 20-year jail term for former President Park Geun-hye who was found guilty of abuse of power and coercion.
The ruling on Thursday upheld a reduced jail term given to Park in July after she was originally sentenced to serve a prison term of around 30 years.
Prosecutors had tried to appeal against that reduction.
Park, South Korea's first female president, was toppled from power in 2017 over a vast corruption scandal.
The court on Thursday also upheld her fine of 18bn won (£12m, $17m).
The former president was her country's first democratically elected leader to be forced from office due to graft in a fallout that also landed two conglomerate heads in prison.

She was initially sentenced to around 30 years in jail and fined 20bn won, but a high court later reduced the fine and the term – to 15 years for corruption with another five for abuse of power.
Thursday's ruling by the country's top court is the final verdict in the case.
