According to the Cheong Wa Dae national petition on the 3rd, a post titled’Please make a body of freedom so that Samsung Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong can concentrate on management’ was posted on the 1st.

Petitioner, who introduced himself as one of the educators, said in an article, “As a member of the Korean people, I was thrilled to see the vice-chairman appealing for patriotism and filial piety with tears at a trial a while ago.” “I earnestly appeal to the President to give me a favor so that I can do my best in Korea.”

Petitioner said, “Vice-Chairman Lee suffered too much mentally and physically from investigations, trials, prisons, etc. in this difficult situation over the past few years, and he fully reflected and apologized.” “How can a businessperson reject the request of living power?” He added, “It is not voluntary, but because he responded to the request of power, and the passive side is strong, there are many parts to understand and regret that any entrepreneur could not have rejected it in that situation. “I said.

Cheong Won-in stressed that the role of Vice Chairman Lee was important as the head of the largest group in Korea. He said, “(Samsung) is the pride of Korea and the force of exports.” “The late Chairman Kun-hee Lee and Vice-Chairman Lee Jae-yong grow Samsung into the world’s No. 1 company in the electronics sector, and support Korea as a big supporter of Korea. I am in charge of the part.”

Petitioner said, “Samsung is contributing a lot of taxation,” and “providing us with a lot of quality jobs.” In addition, the petitioner mentioned the contribution of Samsung to mask imports in the early years of the corona crisis last year. He explained, “Samsung played a lot of role to quickly import masks even when raw materials were scarce in the early coronavirus, and passed on the know-how so that mask manufacturers could quickly produce a large number of masks.”

As of the morning of the day, this petition received more than 18,000 consents, and more than 100 people agreed in advance, and is currently being reviewed by the public petition board administrator.

Vice-Chairman Lee has been imprisoned, released, and revoked for destruction for about four years since the start of a special prosecutor’s investigation into the Gukjeong Nongdan case in 2016. The first trial sentenced Vice Chairman Lee to five years in prison, but the second trial turned some charges into innocence and sentenced him to two years and six months in prison and four years of probation. Since then, the Supreme Court all consensus canceled the court case with the purpose of acknowledging part of the bribery charges that Vice-Chairman Lee saw innocent in the second trial as guilty. At the trial for the decision to reconcile and remand, the special prosecutor sought 9 years in prison for Vice-Chairman Lee.

At the decision trial at the time, Vice Chairman Lee said, “I would like to make a new Samsung suited to the nationality and filial piety to my esteemed father (late Chairman Lee Kun-hee).” In addition, Vice Chairman Lee said, “We will create a company where Samsung employees are proud of our company and that all the people love and trust. This is truly a top-notch company and a sustainable company and a consistent dream pursued by Lee Jae-yong, a company.”

Vice-Chairman Lee’s ruling hearing is scheduled to be held on the 18th.
