The Supreme Court has confirmed the acquittal of Representative Song Ok-ju (Democratic Party of Korea, Hwaseong-si Gap) of charges related to illegal donations made to senior centers in her constituency ahead of the 22nd general election.

The Third Division of the Supreme Court (Justice Roh Kyung-pil presiding) upheld the lower court's not-guilty verdict for Rep. Song in her appeal trial for violating the Public Official Election Act today (June 24).

Five others, including an aide identified as A, who were indicted alongside Rep. Song, were also acquitted. However, three individuals, including a secretary identified as B and a member of a volunteer organization, were found guilty of some of the donation charges and received fines ranging from 900,000 won to 3 million won.
