As a result, Vice-Chairman Lee was arrested again 1078 days after he was released on February 5, 2018 for probation at the second trial. Vice-Chairman Lee is expected to be imprisoned at the Seoul Detention Center.
Earlier, the court admitted the amount of bribery and embezzlement of Vice Chairman Lee to 8.6 billion won in accordance with the purpose of the Supreme Court’s destruction and repatriation in the remand retrial. It is the intention that Samsung side actively offered bribes in response to the request of former President Park Geun-hye.
In addition, Vice Chairman Lee pointed out that in order to take over management rights, he made an illegal solicitation and embezzled money in the company while concealing the crime and even perjured it in the National Assembly.
In particular, the court did not recognize the effectiveness of Samsung’s Compliance Committee, which has been attracting attention, and did not take into account the terms of the sentence.
Judge Jeong said, “It is clear that the authenticity and efforts of the accused should be evaluated positively, such as the authority and role of the Samsung Compliance Committee, which was established independently from affiliates, the organic linkage between the compliance committee and the compliance organizations of affiliates, and the establishment of a system for reporting misconduct. “He said.
However, “It seems that we have not reached the preemptive risk prevention and monitoring activities for new types of possible future,” and “(within Samsung) the compliance monitoring method for the organization acting as the control tower was not presented, and the agreement was signed 7 He pointed out, “The surveillance system for illegal activities that will occur outside of the companies has not been established.”
“There is an aspect to be systematically supplemented with the false service contract method that was used to bribe the political power in the past,” he said. “Unless Samsung’s new compliance system does not meet its effectiveness criteria, this case is considered as a sentence We have come to the conclusion that it is not appropriate to take into account.”
Immediately after the trial, Vice Chairman Lee’s lawyer said, “This case was infringed upon corporate freedom and property rights due to the ex officio abuse of the former President,” and said, “Considering the nature, the judgment of the court is regrettable.” Vice-Chairman Lee is planning to decide whether to appeal again after reviewing the decision.
