"Lee Jaemyung's 'Kim Mungi doesn't know' lie is obvious"...Prosecutors Submit Reasons for Appeal

The prosecution submitted an appeal to the effect that Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said it was a clear lie that he did not know the late Kim Moon-ki, a key practitioner in the Daejang-dong project, and that a heavier sentence should be imposed.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office submitted an appeal to the Seoul High Court yesterday (26th).

Regarding CEO Lee's claim that he did not know Kim when he was mayor of Seongnam, the prosecution argued that the first trial court misunderstood the facts and misunderstood the legal principles.

In addition, he explained that such remarks are a lie that makes representative Lee perceive as having nothing to do with the suspicion of corruption in the development of Daejang-dong from the standpoint of ordinary voters.

The prosecution stressed that it is reasonable to sentence the prosecutor to two years in prison, saying that one year in prison and two years of probation are too light considering the seriousness and nature of the crime, the progress of the crime, the circumstances after the crime, and the same criminal record.
