7 year prison term finalized for ruling party lawmaker, removed from parliament
The top court finalized a seven-year prison term for Rep. Jung Chan-min of the ruling People Power Party on bribe charges Friday, a sentence that automatically stripped him of his parliamentary seat.
Jung was charged with taking some 352 million won ($263,650) worth of bribes from a real estate developer between 2016 and 2017 in return for business favors while he was serving as the mayor of Yongin in Gyeonggi Province.
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a lower court's seven-year sentence and a fine of 500 million won given to Jung.
