In today’s appeal, the sentence from the first trial, which acquitted former Deputy Justice Minister Kim Hak-eui, charged with village hospitality and bribery of hundreds of millions of won, was overturned. The court sentenced former Vice Minister Kim to two years and six months in prison and incarcerated him in court for fear of fleeing. Let’s listen in detail connecting journalists. Reporter Lim Seong-ho! Tell us in detail from the sentence of the ruling. The Seoul High Court handed down an appeal ruling against Kim Hak’s former deputy minister around 2:05 pm. Earlier, at a decision hearing last month, the prosecution asked the court to sentence former Vice Minister Kim to 12 years in prison, a fine of 700 million won, and an additional 300 million won. The court, citing part of the prosecution’s appeal, said it would sentence former Vice Minister Kim for two and a half years and a 5 million won fine and charge 43 million won for bribery. The judge said the crime was not very good, such as asking for tens of thousands of won over a long period of time, even though former Deputy Minister Kim was a high-ranking public official and a key prosecutor who had to set an example for others. prosecutors. The judge also ordered a judicial arrest, saying there were concerns that former Vice Minister Kim might escape. When the innocence sentence was overturned at the first trial and sentenced, former Vice Minister Kim was embarrassed. Former Vice Minister Kim said he would appeal immediately. After the trial ended, former Vice Minister Kim was incarcerated in the East Detention Center in Seoul. At the first trial, you were found not guilty on what charges were you specifically convicted? There are three main charges of bribery by former Vice Minister Kim, which the judge investigated. First, there is a ‘third-party bribery’ charge that a woman who gave him sexual entertainment gave up a 100 million won debt to construction contractor Yoon Joong-cheon. There was also a suspicion that he had received a bribe worth 150 million won from the president of the Mo Savings Bank, Kim Mo. As in the first trial, the court found that the statute of limitations had been approved or that the work-related consideration had not been proven. However, on the charges of receiving tens of millions of won from businessman Choi Mo, unlike the first trial, it was judged that there was a price and the statute of limitations had not been approved. The judge explained that it was acknowledged that he provided 43 million won in cash and money, knowing that Mr. Choi’s business could be assisted by former Vice Minister Kim if a situation arises. The charges of receiving sexual entertainment from the construction contractor Yoon Joong-cheon 13 times were dropped in the first trial last year due to the expiration of the statute of limitations and were not subject to trial in this appeal trial.
