Former President Lee Myung-bak has been accused of embezzlement of dozens of auto parts makers and bribes from Samsung Electronics.

I was sentenced to 17 years in prison on appeal today (19th).

The amount of bribe admitted guilty increased two years more than a one-year prison sentence.

The court canceled bail and redeemed former President Lee Myung-bak.

It's been 350 days since we were released on bail in March last year.

First, the Tribunal saw the former president embezzled more than 25.2 billion won in dozens.

500 million won more than the amount admitted.

The court said, "This former president has systematically embezzled dozens of money and used it for company-independent purposes."

Most of Samsung's dozens of US litigation fees were recognized as bribes.

The judges found 8.9 billion of the 10.9 billion won that the prosecution found guilty.

The court pleaded guilty to the former president's embezzlement and Samsung's payment of the lawsuit, effectively recognizing that Darth was owned by the former president.

In his final statement, Lee said, "Darth has nothing to do with me."
