Kwak Sang-do's 5 Billion Won Club, First Instance Results

Today, the prosecution requested an 18-year sentence for Kwak Sang-do in the second instance (this is not the final sentencing)
Regarding the 5 billion won severance pay his son received from Daejang-dong's Hwacheon Daeyu,
Kwak Sang-do was found not guilty of bribery in the first instance. The reason was that his son and Kwak Sang-do were not an economic community,
and that the money did not go to Kwak Sang-do.
He also underwent a trial for the same charges under the crime of concealing criminal proceeds,
but since it was the same crime, the judge issued a 'dismissal of public prosecution' for Kwak Sang-do and a 'not guilty' verdict for his son.
Therefore, it will be difficult for the 18-year sentence requested by the prosecution in the second instance today to be overturned to a guilty verdict.
