The first-instance verdict for Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon regarding allegations of having campaign polling costs covered by a third party is scheduled to be delivered at 2:00 PM today (July 22).

Mayor Oh is accused of receiving 10 public opinion polls from Myung Tae-kyun during the 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election and having a donor pay for the costs on his behalf.

The special prosecutor previously requested a sentence of one year and six months in prison for Mayor Oh.

If a fine of 1 million won or more is finalized during his term, Mayor Oh will lose his position as mayor.
