Former President Park Kun-he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Bribery, etc.Korean High Court July 10, 20:55
20 years in prison I handed over.
In 2017, Park was dismissed from the president as a defendant. I have been accused of bribery and other charges as having received a bribe.
Initially, the Seoul High Court of two trials sentenced bribery and other crimes together, but the South Korean Supreme Court was in August last year when a president and other officials were in office under the provisions of the Public Office Election Act. He pointed out that the bribery involved had to be sentenced separately from other crimes, and ordered the High Court to try again.
In a trial of remand that was received in response to this, a case in which former President Park was charged with bribery from an information agency was also heard, and the prosecution sentenced to 35 years of imprisonment this May. It was.
The Seoul High Court said in a ruling on the 10th, "Failing to serve as president has caused confusion in national politics. Heavy punishment is inevitable."
On the other hand, he explained, "The defendant did not gain much profit, and it was almost as if he had already been sentenced for political bankruptcy." He was imprisoned for 15 years for bribery charges and 5 years for other crimes. I was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
