Lee Jae-yong, a vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, was indicted on charges of bribery charges against former President Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil. The vice president has been released in 353 days after his arrest on February 17 last year.
A judge sentenced to five years in prison for a vice-chairman of the Seoul High Court`s judicial affairs chief at the Seocho-dong Court Complex in Seoul on February 5 said he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison.
Choi Ji-sung, former deputy chief of the Future Strategy, who has been charged with the vice-chairperson and accomplice, and Chung Chung-ki, the former deputy chief of the former deputy general secretary, were each sentenced to three years imprisonment each. Both were released on this day. Park Sang-jin, former president of Samsung Electronics, who received five years of probation in his first year in prison, was sentenced to three years in prison and two years and six months in prison. I was sentenced to two years probation.
Meanwhile, the vice chairman`s sentence was commuted to the fact that the sponsorship of the Korean Winter Sports Gifted and Talented Center and the escape of property abroad were not guilty. The court has admitted that riding support for Choi Jung-sil, the daughter of Ms. Choi, However, unlike the first one, only the use of horses and cars free of charge was recognized as a bribe.
The appellate court also ruled that the allegations of escape from property outside the property under the Act on Specified Economic Crime, Severe Punishment, etc., which were applied together with bribery, were not guilty. The vice-chairman`s 3.6 billion won, which he spent on the service of Core Sports, was a bribe, and overturned the first-degree guilty verdict, saying the vice chairman did not take his domestic property abroad for further use.
The appellate court has also found innocent by reversing the first-ever guilty verdict of Samsung`s sponsorship of KRW 1,682 million in the Korean sports gifted and talented center, which was dominated by Ms. Choi. The Mir & K Sports Foundation`s contribution of KRW 20.4 billion was the same as the first.
The court, on the other hand, ruled that "it is hard to admit that there was a comprehensive issue of Samsung`s succession work," and that "there was no implied request for succession." Earlier in the process, the Samsung Corps has pleaded guilty to gifted and talented child support centers for granting an implicit request to Park for succession work.
The appellate court ruled that Samsung`s explicit and implicit appeals on individual issues did not exist as well as the first case. He was also innocent of the alleged perjury by the National Assembly. "The court has pointed out that the essence of the case is the immoral adherence of political power and capital power, and pointed out that it is a model of political cohesion," the court stated.
"It is not a small amount, but compared to the KRW 29.8 billion bribe charged by the special prosecutor, a lot of the facts were not accepted," he said. "This case seems to be distant from the nature of the case, "In this case, we cannot find a typical canonical adherence, such as the injection of public funds into the people`s blood." The court explained, "The case explained that the former president of the Republic of Korea, Park Geun-hye, chastised the executives of the Samsung Group and pursued his interests as a mother-in-law who was a close associate of former President Park." "The defendant ruled that referee riding support was a bribe, but failed to easily refuse the two, so he went passively into bribing."
