Appearance of a petition for “Jae-yong Lee, who was suffering enough, to devote himself to management”

-With Samsung Electronics’ vice chairman Lee Jae-yong nearing the final sentence of the’Gukjeong Nongdan’s destruction and repatriation decision’ during this month, a national petition to make him a free body so that he can concentrate on management appeared.

In this petition posted on the Blue House National Petition Bulletin on the 1st, the petitioner said, “Vice-Chairman Lee has had investigations, trials, and even prison sentences in the past few years. I was physically afflicted, and I fully reflected and apologized.”

Petitioner introduced himself as one of the people and one of the educators, not directly related to Samsung.

He said, “How can an entrepreneur reject the request of living power?” He said, “Because any entrepreneur in the world could not have rejected the request for power in that situation, there is a lot of understanding and a lot of regret and compassion.” In addition, “(Samsung) is the pride of Korea and the force of exports.” “The late Chairman Kun-hee Lee and Vice-Chairman Lee Jae-yong grew Samsung to become the world’s No. He said, “Samsung is contributing a large part of the tax,” he said. “It is providing us with a lot of quality jobs.”

In addition, he emphasized that “Samsung played a lot of role to quickly import masks even when raw materials were scarce in the early corona, and passed on the know-how so that mask manufacturers can quickly produce a large quantity of masks.”

He appealed, “Now, the President should give him a good deed so that he can quit Chairman Lee Jae-yong and give him a body of freedom so that he can do his best in the front line of management.”

This petition received more than 18,000 people’s consent on the morning of the 3rd, and more than 100 people agreed in advance, and is currently being reviewed by the public petition board administrator.

Vice-Chairman Lee was prosecuted in February 2017 on charges of bribing former President Park Geun-hye and was sentenced to imprisonment in the first trial, and was released on probation in the second trial in February 2018. Afterwards, in August 2019, the case was destroyed and repatriated in the Supreme Court appeal, and on the same day, a year and four months later, a decision on the revocation and revocation decision was held in the Seoul Court.

At the decision trial held on the 30th of last month, the special prosecutors asked for nine years in prison, and Vice-Chairman Lee in his final statement said, “I want to make a new Samsung suited to the nationality and pay tribute to my father who I respect so much. I will make a thorough compliance system.”
