On the 19th, politicians’ reactions were mixed on the court of reconsideration of the Gukjeong Nongdan case, which sentenced Samsung Electronics vice chairman Lee Jae-yong to two years and six months in prison.
The ruling party evaluated it as’a ruling that saw the public’s notice,’ and the opposition party raised doubts that the compliance committee system introduced by Samsung was not reflected in the sentencing factor.
Democratic Party lawmaker Park Yong-jin said in an interview with MBC radio’Kim Jong-bae’s attention’ on the morning of the day, “The meaning of this ruling is not light.” “It is the starting line where people with a hundred cannot be punished even if they commit a crime.”
Rep. Park said, “The people are interested, our society is still awake, and civil society organizations and politics have also been interested, which greatly influenced the outcome of the trial.” “Even the strongest head of Samsung in South Korea mobilized so many lawyers and officials He stressed, “I have to live in jail because of the ruling that has seen the public notice countless times.”
Rep. Park said, “I know that the sentence is too low,” he said, “I know there are complaints about the sentence,” but he said, “What if there is a suspension of execution. It’s useless to go and swear at that time and swear at the court.” I put meaning in the sentence of imprisonment.

On the other hand, the day before the sentence of Vice-Chairman Lee (18th), the people’s power, where there was no official position, raised questions about the sentencing of the court.
At a meeting with reporters after the in-hospital countermeasure meeting held at the National Assembly this morning, the court said, “It is not a question of the judgment of the judiciary, but what I did by creating a compliance committee was to reflect it in the sentence. I am wondering if it is asking for “.”
Although Vice-Chairman Lee and Samsung introduced the compliance committee system recommended by the judiciary, the judiciary did not reflect it as an advantageous sentencing factor, saying that it did not meet the effective operation satisfaction standards, and the in-house representative raised a question.
Earlier, the judiciary said, “The compliance monitoring system focuses on the offenses in question in the case of the’Gukjeong Nongdan’ and conducts compliance monitoring activities, but it defines a new type of risk that may occur in the future and preemptively prevents and monitors the risk. “It hasn’t come to the point of doing it.”
