Suspended sentence in an attempted coercion case related to the state affairs manipulation scandal

In connection with the state affairs manipulation scandal, the client was indicted for attempted coercion involving the acquisition of shares in an advertising company. Attorney Jaehoon Lee defended the client.

In a case involving multiple defendants, the main issues were the client's specific degree of participation and the scope of the client's criminal liability.

Attorney Lee reviewed how the events unfolded and the client's role, and focused the defense on the client's individual degree of participation and the sentencing factors.

The prosecution sought a prison sentence for the client, but the court imposed a suspended prison sentence, and the judgment became final.
