South Korea Ex-president Bags 15 Years In Jail For Corruption by Magichand: 10:59am On Oct 05, 2018
Lee Myung-bak a former South Korean president, was jailed for 15 years for corruption, on Friday.


The 76-year-old CEO-turned-president, who served from 2008 to 2013, was found guilty on charges including bribery and embezzlement and ordered to pay a fine of $11.5 million.

The former South Korean leader was indicted in April on 16 charges that included bribery, embezzlement, and abuse of power.


The court found that Lee was the de-facto owner of DAS — a controversial auto parts company which he claimed was his brother’s — which he used to create slush funds of around $22m

Lee was also found guilty of accepting nearly $6m from Samsung Electronics in return for a presidential pardon for its chairman Lee Kun-hee, who was jailed for tax evasion.
