Following Lee Jae-myung's appeal of the first trial's ruling yesterday for "violation of the Public Official Election Act," the prosecution filed an appeal today.

With the legal battle between the two sides also leading to the second round, the first trial of the perjury teacher case will also be sentenced on the 25th.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kim Tae-won.

Tell me more about the reasons for the prosecution's appeal,

[Reporter]
Yes, the prosecution said today (22nd) that it filed an appeal against the first trial's ruling, which gave CEO Lee a suspended prison sentence for violating the election law.

In fact, the reason for the appeal was misleading, misunderstanding of the law, and unfair sentencing.

The prosecution added that it will prove that CEO Lee's remarks denied public and private communication activities, including business relations with the late Kim Moon-ki.

In addition, as he demanded a two-year prison sentence for CEO Lee in the previous final trial, he plans to fight for a suspended prison sentence for the convicted part.

Earlier, CEO Lee also submitted an appeal to the court yesterday (21st).

No specific reason for appeal is known yet,
The representative of
has also pleaded not guilty, and directly stated that the court's judgment cannot be acknowledged in general immediately after the sentence.

As a result, both the misconception of facts and the misunderstanding of legal principles appear to have been considered as reasons for appeal.

Earlier, Lee was indicted on charges of not knowing Kim as Seongnam mayor when he was a presidential candidate or making false statements to the effect that he changed the use of the Baekhyun-dong site under pressure from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

On the 15th, the court found Lee guilty of some of the charges and sentenced him to one year in prison and two years of probation,
Both the prosecution
and representative Lee's side will file an appeal, and another fierce court battle is expected at the Seoul High Court.

The first trial of Lee's perjury teacher case is also scheduled next Monday, but the court did not allow the live broadcast of the trial this time, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the 33rd Criminal Department of the Central District Court, which is in charge of the first trial of Lee's perjury teacher case, said it would not allow the live broadcast of the sentence next week, considering the legal interests and progress of the case.

It is also interpreted that the same court is hearing several important cases, including CEO Lee's trials in Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong.

The first trial of the perjury teacher case, scheduled for 2 p.m. on the 25th, will take place in the Central Court of West Officer 311, as in the election law case on the 15th.

It is more than 100 seats larger than the small court that has been holding arguments, and security checks for audiences will also be strengthened.

There are not many seats allocated to the general public, with 36 seats, but the area around Seocho-dong on the day is expected to attract a lot of people from both conservative and progressive sides as it did on the 15th.

In response, the court also plans to deploy additional security personnel to prepare for possible accidents.

So far, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has informed you.
