The prosecution asked the court to sentence former Deputy Governor Lee at the Suwon High Court today (31st) on charges of violating the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act and bribery.
Former lieutenant governor Lee was put on trial in 2019 on charges of allowing Ssangbangwool Group to pay $8 million in total, including the cost of Lee Jae-myung, then governor of Gyeonggi-do Province, and the North Korean smart farm project.
Earlier, the prosecution demanded a 15-year prison term for former lieutenant governor Lee in the first trial, but the first trial court found only some charges guilty and sentenced him to nine and a half years in prison.
Five days after the first trial was sentenced to former lieutenant governor Lee in June, the prosecution also indicted Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party, on charges of approving the remittance of double drops to North Korea, and the first trial is currently underway.
