China News Service, January 26. According to South Korea’s "Joongang Ilbo" report, on the 26th, Samsung’s "head" Lee Jae-yong, who was sentenced to imprisonment in the case of "trustworthy intervention in politics", told Samsung employees in an internal article I apologize and say I will reflect on myself.

  Li Zaiyong first apologized: "Everyone in the Samsung family, because of my shortcomings, once again worrying everyone."

  Then, he thanked the staff and asked them.

"In the past few years, Samsung has encountered various difficulties, but everyone has worked silently and guarded Samsung. I am very grateful for this." "Hopefully, just like what we have done so far, we will continue to do as always. Unite as one."

  Li Zaiyong especially emphasized that although he is in detention, Samsung Electronics and other Samsung subsidiaries still need to expand investment, create jobs and assume social responsibilities.

Regardless of his own situation, Samsung should continue to walk its own way and be faithful to the promise made with the people.

  In the end, Li Zayong said that he will reflect more deeply and will never waste time.

"I will definitely build a brand new Samsung with you all."

  Li Zairong was sentenced to 5 years in prison in the first instance, and 2 years and 6 months in prison in the second instance, suspended for 4 years, and released.

In 2019, the South Korean Supreme Court sent the case back for retrial.

In October 2020, the Seoul High Court initiated a retrial of the case.

On December 30, 2020, South Korean prosecutors asked the court to sentence Lee Jae-yong to 9 years in prison.

  On the afternoon of January 18, 2021, local time, the Seoul High Court of South Korea issued a sentence on the retrial of Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong's "confidential intervention in politics" case and sentenced him to 2 years and 6 months in prison.

Li was arrested in court in Rong.

  Neither Li nor the prosecution appealed, and Li Zairong's sentence was determined.
