Gyeongnam Governor Kim Gyeong-soo, who was indicted for manipulating comments, will be held today (6th) at the Seoul High Court.
The Seoul High Court Criminal Division 2 is holding a hearing on the appeal of Governor Kim, who is accused of obstructing the business of disability such as computers and violating the Public Official Election Act, starting at 2 pm today.
From 2016 to 2018, Governor Kim conspired with Kim Dong-won, so-called ``Dreking,'' to manipulate the comments on the portal site, and to recommend Kim's aide to the post of general consul general in Sendai, Japan ahead of the 2018 local election. I was charged with the charges.
The first trial court convicted two charges in January last year, sentenced him to two years in prison and two years in prison in October, respectively, and arrested Governor Kim in court.
Governor Kim, who disobeyed the ruling, was released on bail last April and has been tried.
Governor Kim will lose his office if he is sentenced to a fine of 1 million won or more for violating the Public Office Election Act or is sentenced to more than a jail for obstruction of disability business such as computers.
