At the decision hearing, the special counsel asked the court to sentence Lee to nine years in prison.

The Special Prosecutor’s Office repeatedly emphasized that Vice President Lee actively bribed former President Park and Seo-won Choi, who was in charge of the administration, to succeed in the administration.

In particular, even though the Supreme Court admitted bribery by reversing the second trial decision last year, Vice President Lee insisted that he would continue to conceal the truth through false statements.

He did not attach much importance to the activities of the Samsung Compliance Committee, which the court decided to consider for sentencing.

The Special Prosecutor’s Office said that the professional judges commissioned by the Judiciary also negatively evaluated the sustainability of the Compliance Committee, and emphasized that there is no effectiveness of “to the extent that the total is scared.”

Vice President Lee actively objected.

He argued that Samsung’s Compliance Committee reinforced the procedures of independence and deliberation and vigilance to avoid the risk of personal interests on the part of the head of the family, and argued that the theory of the futility of the special prosecutor was unfounded.

Vice President Lee also offered the bribe because he was unable to overcome coercion from former President Park, and has not received succession privileges, and has appealed to the court to grant him prison parole.

After making a final statement, Vice President Lee admitted that everything was wrong and wrong, and asked for preference, saying it would make Samsung a company with the highest level of transparency and compliance.

In addition to Vice President Lee, the special counsel was sentenced to 7 years in prison for former head of future strategy office Choi Ji-sung, former deputy general manager Jang Choong-ki and former president of Samsung Electronics Sang-jin Park and 5 years in prison for former Samsung Electronics CEO Hwang Sung-soo.

On the 18th of next month, the judges decided to impose a sentence on Vice President Lee.

It is noteworthy what the judges will conclude in Lee’s Gukjeong Nongdan case, which has elapsed three years and ten months after the first trial.
