SEOUL (Reuters) – Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee’s defense lawyer has filed to appeal against a five-year jail term for bribery handed down by a lower court, the Seoul Central District Court’s website said on Monday without giving details.
A Samsung spokeswoman did not have any immediate comment about the appeal against the sentencing handed down on Friday.
The sentencing of the billionaire scion was a significant moment for South Korea’s decades-long economic order, which has been dominated by powerful, family-run conglomerates.
