'Purpose of slander of Park Soo-hong, poor nature'The sentence appealed for leniency, ultimately sentenced to a fine



Lee's brother-in-law, who is accused of defaming broadcaster Park Soo-hong, was fined 12 million won.

On the morning of the 11th, the Seoul Western District Court sentenced Park Soo-hong and his wife, Kim Daye, to 12 million won for violating the Act on Promotion of Information and Communication Network Utilization and Information Protection.

The court said "It is false that the victim and Mr. Kim lived together before the marriage registration, and there is no justifiable reason to believe this.""Even if there was a claim that there were women's goods in Park Soo-hong's house, there could be sufficient facts among the parties in the relationship.""



"The fact that Lee talked about it (in a group chat room) and made it convey it (whether there is always a woman) even though he/she has not witnessed it himself, and even if Lee asks the truth, the act itself cannot be considered to have a legitimate reason why it was committed in this case to form public opinion in his/her favor, and that he/she tried to spread more false information through Internet articles or comments, etc. is poor in nature," he/she said.

Park's brother and his wife are on trial for embezzling billions of won in company money and personal funds while running Park's agency from 2011 to 2021. Separately, Park Soo-hong and his wife Kim Daye sued Lee in October last year on charges of spreading false information and defamation.



According to the prosecution, Lee said in a group chat room, `What Park Soo-hong said is falseHe is accused of defaming Park by spreading false information such as " or "Park Soo-hong is living with a woman" and posting it on an online community.

Earlier, Lee said in his closing argument that he had lived as an ordinary housewife for 20 years, but he was driven as an embezzlement criminal with a single comment. The children are being blamed and the daughter is undergoing psychiatric treatment. It's very hard, but I'm holding on```` he appealed with tears.



The lawyer also "The defendant should be acquitted. Even if they are found guilty, please consider that the remarks were made in an extremely difficult situation without a criminal record.
