President Yoon Seok-yeol, who held the final key to the question about the Liberation Day special amnesty, answered with a principled principle.



[President Seok-Yeol Yoon: In the past, it has been a principle to not mention any scope or anything like that in advance on the issue of amnesty.]



Unlike the president who sparing his words, the government conducted a preliminary review on whether or not to be a special envoy for key personnel. was found to be



First of all, Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong is likely to win the 'lottery'.



Vice Chairman Lee, who was sentenced to two years and six months in prison for the National Nongdan case during the Park Geun-hye administration, is currently on parole, and his sentence ends on the 29th of this month.



Even if the sentence expires, the business community has requested the reinstatement of Vice Chairman Lee, which can solve this problem, because he is restricted from employment for five years under the Act on Aggravated Punishment for Specific Economic Crimes.



A high-ranking passport official said, "At the time of Liberation Day, there is no remaining sentence, and the trial related to Samsung Biologics fraudulent accounting is proceeding as it is.



Ex-President Lee Myung-bak, who was sentenced to 17 years in prison for embezzlement and bribery and was temporarily released last month due to suspension of execution, is likely to be exempt from the sentence.



It is explained that the fact that former President Lee paid a penalty of 5.7 billion won in full for an elderly person in his 80s and the aspect of national unity are also factors to be considered.



Former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo, who was sentenced to two years in prison for the 'Drooking Presidential Opinion Manipulation Case' among opposition figures, has been paroled.



It is difficult to obtain a special amnesty with about 40% of the remaining sentence remaining.



It also seems to reflect the intention to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings of intervening in the political landscape of the opposition with the amnesty and lottery of former Governor Kim, who is considered an enemy of the Democratic Party ahead of the National Convention.
