Following the appeal yesterday by Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was sentenced to a suspended sentence for violating the election law, the prosecution is also considering whether to appeal.
While the court decided not to allow the trial of the perjury teacher case to be broadcast live on the 25th, it seems to be focusing on strengthening the security of the building.
I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Kim Taewon!
Will the prosecution be appealing the election law case by the end of the day?
[Reporter]
Yes, as the deadline for appeal expires today, the prosecution is reportedly considering whether to appeal based on the analysis of the first trial's ruling.
First of all, it seems that the appeal should be acknowledged that the so-called "Kim Moon-ki did not know" statement, which was partially acquitted in the first trial, is false,
As he was sentenced to two years in prison in
, it is expected that the higher court will also argue with the sentencing for the judgment of probation of imprisonment.
Earlier, CEO Lee also filed an appeal with the Seoul Central District Court yesterday (21st).
There is no specific reason for Lee's appeal yet,
Since he has pleaded not guilty during the trial, and immediately after the sentence, representative Lee also spoke to point out the court's judgment of facts, both misinformation and misapprehension of legal principles appear to have been considered as reasons.
Earlier, CEO Lee was put on trial on charges of making false statements by saying, "I didn't know the late Kim Moon-ki when he was mayor of Seongnam" or "I never played golf together" when he was a presidential candidate.
In the same year, he is also accused of making false statements at a parliamentary audit in Gyeonggi Province 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 sentenced CEO Lee to one year in prison and two years of probation.

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 to be 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.
Accordingly, the court plans to prepare for possible accidents by adding supplementary agents.
So far, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office has informed you.
