This is because a trial is held on the same day as a farewell court sentence to determine the sentence of Samsung Electronics vice chairman Lee Jae-yong, who was handed over to the trial for the case of the Gukjeong Nongdan case.
The Seoul High Court Criminal Division 1 (Judge Jung Joon-young Song Young-seung, Deputy Judge Kang Sang-wook) will proceed with a trial for the destruction of Vice Chairman Lee, who was charged with bribery, etc.
In February 2017, Vice-Chairman Lee was arrested on charges of bribing former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Choi Seo-won for help with the succession of Samsung Group’s management rights.
The first trial convicted a total of 8.9 billion won, including Choi’s daughter, Jeong Yu-ra, for horseback riding assistance of 7.2 billion won, and 1.6 billion won sponsored by the Korea Winter Sports Gifted Center, and sentenced to five years in prison.
The appellate trial judged innocent a large part of the amount convicted in the first trial. Only 3.6 billion won was recognized as a bribe.
As a result, the sentence was significantly lowered, and he was released after being sentenced to two years and six months in prison and four years probation.
However, the Supreme Court’s entire consensus sent it back to the Seoul High Court, saying that it should be considered guilty for the part it saw as innocent in the appeal trial.
If you disagree with the sentence for revocation, you can reapply and get the judgment of the Supreme Court again.
