Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon Fined 10 Million Won, Slams Verdict as Based on 'Notorious Liar's' Claims

The 22nd Criminal Settlement Division of the Seoul Central District Court (Presiding Judge Cho Hyung-woo) held a sentencing hearing at 2:00 PM today (July 22) for Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who was indicted on charges of violating the Political Funds Act.

The court sentenced Mayor Oh to a fine of 10 million won.

Following the ruling, Mayor Oh expressed his outrage, stating, "I cannot accept this," and adding, "The verdict was handed down based solely on the statements of the notorious liar Myung Tae-kyun."

Mayor Oh was indicted without detention in December of last year on charges of receiving opinion poll results a total of 10 times from political broker Myung Tae-kyun ahead of the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election in 2021, and having Kim Han-jung, known to be a longtime supporter, cover 33 million won in costs on his behalf.
