A group of people who ran a remote gambling center in the Philippines were also sentenced to prison side by side at the appeal trial.
The Chuncheon District Court sentenced 60-year-old Kim, a former CEO of Isla Resort in the Philippines, to two years in prison as per the original trial, and executives Son and Lee were also sentenced to one and a half years in prison as per the original trial.
The court said, "The crime is heavy, such as running a gambling space and causing overseas gambling."
They were put on trial from 2016 to 2018 for running the "Isla Resort" casino in Cebu, Philippines, using a method of broadcasting the gambling scene live in the country.
Kim and others sold the resort for 30 billion won to former Metropolitan Chairman Kim Young-hong, the body of the Lime crisis and wanted by Interpol in 2018 while operating a remote gambling center, and the resort and casino are currently being used as an escape and funding source for Chairman Kim.
