Former lawmaker Son Hye-won, who was handed over to trial for purchasing real estate under a new name after grasping the'urban regeneration project plan' in Mokpo city, was sentenced to imprisonment.

The Seoul Southern District Law today (12th) sentenced Rep. Sohn to 1 year and 6 months in prison for violating the Real Estate Real Name Law.

The court did not arrest Son Jun to ensure the right to defend.

The court ruled that "trust in public officials has been greatly damaged, and it is a serious corruption that must be corrected in our society for an honest public official society."

Congressman Son said he would appeal immediately, saying, "It is difficult to understand the conviction."

Let's meet with the on-site video.
