The prosecution has demanded a three-year prison term for Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was handed over to trial on charges of perjury.

Before the trial, CEO Lee appealed for innocence, saying the prosecution had fabricated the case and evidence, and the first trial will be sentenced on November 25.

Yes. This is the Seoul Central District Court.

The prosecution asked CEO Lee for a prison sentence.

[Reporter]
Yes, just now, the final trial on Lee's perjury teacher charges has been completed.

Here, the prosecution asked the court to sentence CEO Lee to three years in prison.

The prosecution, which defined perjury as a "serious crime that disturbs the judicial order," pointed out that Lee repeated lies that could affect the judgment of the sovereigns.

In addition, he persistently cajoled false testimony by exploiting his superior position as a provincial governor, and now he is abusing his position as a representative of the public party for personal crimes.

In addition, he revealed the reason for the request that aggravated punishment is necessary because he has already been punished for the same criminal record such as innocence.

The representative Lee responded that he did not ask for false testimony, but that he asked him to tell the facts he remembered as they were.

A person is not a parrot, but does not make a statement just because the other person asks you a question repeatedly.

In addition, there was a claim that the prosecution maliciously woven the call between CEO Lee and Kim Jin-sung.

Representative Lee also used the expression "coup of relatives," saying that the prosecution fabricated evidence and cases before attending.

In the final statement, the prosecution appealed again for unfairness, saying that in cases related to him, the prosecution hid or manipulated evidence.

After hearing both sides' opinions, the court decided to proceed with the sentencing date at 2 p.m. on November 25.

As the Public Official Election Act trial is already scheduled for Nov. 15, this fall is expected to be a critical juncture for Lee's judicial risk.
