Prosecutors sentenced Lee Jae-myung, a perjury teacher, to three years in prison...November 25th Sentence of the First Instance

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 held this afternoon (30th).

The prosecution said the issue is very heavy, saying Lee repeatedly lied about the key influencing voters' rational judgment and created fake witnesses to cover it up.

In addition, CEO Lee added that he is denigrating the prosecution's legitimate investigation, let alone reflecting on the case, even though he has already been punished for the same criminal record, including innocent crimes.

On the other hand, CEO Lee said in his final statement, "Isn't the person's words different and different, and I expected him to tell me like this, but he specifically said "Remember" and "Please tell me what you remember" in case he understood that way.

He also criticized the prosecution for hiding and squeezing evidence, saying he had been in and out of court as a lawyer for decades, but had never seen a prosecution like this.

In December 2018, CEO Lee was indicted on charges of calling Kim Jin-sung, a former secretary for the late Seongnam Mayor Kim Byung-ryang, several times and asking him to perjure himself in a trial on charges of publishing false information related to the "prosecutor impersonation case."

The court will hold a sentencing hearing on CEO Lee at 2 p.m. on November 25.
