Prosecutors have demanded a prison sentence for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was accused of teaching false testimony to trial witnesses.
The prosecution asked the court to sentence Lee to three years in prison at his final hearing this afternoon.
The prosecution said CEO Lee committed the crime on a deliberate and deliberate basis and has already been punished for the same criminal record, including innocent charges, so aggravated punishment is necessary.
In December 2018, CEO Lee was put on trial on charges of calling Kim Jin-sung, the late former secretary for Seongnam Mayor Kim Byung-ryang, several times and demanding perjury in a trial related to the so-called "prosecutor impersonation case."
In response, CEO Lee denies the charges, saying he only asked him to testify as he remembered, and that the prosecution only drew up the advantage.
