The Seoul High Court of South Korea ruled that Lee Zai Rong was guilty of offering bribes by asking the then President Park Geun hye and his close confidant Choi Swe won (Choi Shun shih) to help him inherit his business rights and provide 8.68 billion won (about 51.03 million yuan) in bribes. The Samsung Compliance Monitoring Committee is ineffective and should not be used as a reference factor for sentencing.
