Surrounding the trial for the first trial in the case of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook’s violation of the Political Fund Act ten years ago, the investigation team’s suspicion of a perjury teacher at the time is expected to mark a period sooner or later after twists and turns.
In order to prove the guilty of former Prime Minister Han, the investigative team put colleagues in prison for the late Han Man-ho (died in 2018), a political donor, to the court, saying, unlike their memory, “Mr. Han Man-ho’paid money to former Prime Minister Han’ Whether or not he was encouraged to testify that he had said that he had said that he was obscured.
However, in the legal profession, there is a lot of criticism that “basically, the related inspection was not worth doing from the beginning.”
This is because, four years ago, the court judged it to the effect that “there was no mother harm perjury teacher in the investigation team” after a fierce review. Rather, Han Man-ho handed the money and perjured Han Man-ho at the first trial of the former prime minister, saying, “I didn’t give it,” and with fellow inmates Kim Mo and Choi Mo, “the prosecution said, “I gave money,” but in court, I have to overturn that I did not give it.” It was concluded that it had been discussed.
On May 17, 2017, the 3rd Criminal Division of the Supreme Court (Presiding Judge Kwon Soon-il) confirmed the court ruling of the lower court sentenced to two years in prison at the appeal of Han Man-ho, who was charged with perjury.
In a 2010 prosecution investigation, Han Man-ho stated that “I handed over 900 million won in cash, dollars, and checks to former Prime Minister Han.” But followed In December 2010 and January 2011, former Prime Minister Han overturned the prosecution’s statement at the first trial “There is no fact of maintaining a strong relationship with former Prime Minister Han or donating political funds.” In addition In February 2011, to a fellow inmate who was a witness at the same trial, “The fact that we donated 900 million won worth of political funds to the former prime minister, and discussed plans to overturn the statements made by the prosecution and how to falsely find out where the money was used, etc.” There is no hoax”It was also called.
Han’s reversal of this statement led to former Prime Minister Han was acquitted in the first trial, but was later convicted by an appeal trial and the Supreme Court in 2015. The prosecution then charged Han Man-ho for perjury, and the court admitted that he was guilty of perjury in the first, second, and third trials.
The fact that the original case, former Prime Minister Han’s charges of violating the Political Fund Act, was convicted by the Supreme Court of two years in prison according to a number of evidences, played a decisive role in Han Man-ho’s perjury guilty.

The judge said, “It seems that Han Man-ho told his fellow inmates that he had donated political funds, and discussed plans with them to overturn what the prosecution said in court.” “The inmates specifically remember the facts of granting funds to the former Prime Minister Han, how Han Man-ho made such a story, Han Man-ho’s feelings toward the former Prime Minister Han, various circumstances surrounding Han Man-ho, and countermeasures.”That’s why.
In the end, they judged that the testimony that the inmates gave to the trial of the former Prime Minister was not by the prosecution’s perjury teacher, but that they did what they heard from Han Man-ho.
The court said, “Mr. Han Man-ho“I have no relationship with former Prime Minister Han”For one thing, he said, “I rented the office of the building he owned to the former Prime Minister Han, who is the last son of the house, at half the price of the market price, and did furniture installation and interior work for the former Prime Minister Han’s apartment in Goyang City. Former Prime Minister Han also invited Mr. Han to dinner with the chairmen of large corporations and construction companies, and when Mr. Han was hospitalized, he maintained a considerable close relationship, such as visiting the hospital himself, and was provided with business convenienceI judged it.
An attorney from one prosecutor said, “Now, the investigation team is inspected five times, including the second and third trials convicted, except for the first trial, which convicted former prime minister Han He said, “It is unfortunate that the judicial system has been shaken and unnecessary controversy continues by some prosecutors who have pushed for inspection with the passport,” he said.
