Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong stared at the front and stayed silent for a while when he was sentenced to two years and six months in prison in a farewell trial for the destruction of the Gukjeong Nongdan case.
After explaining the reasons for the sentence, the court raised up Vice-Chairman Lee and sentenced him to "2 years and 6 months in prison."
Vice-Chairman Lee skipped the opportunity to make a statement, saying "I have nothing to say" ahead of the court arrest.
When the judge left the courtroom, Vice-Chairman Lee collapsed into his seat.
Later, he turned his back and talked a few words with the lawyer.
In the auditorium, there was a cry and a protest saying "Isn't the judge too much?"
The trial ended in 20 minutes.
Outside the courtroom, supporters and opponents shouted "Jae-Yong Lee innocent" and "Redeem Lee Jae-yong."
