SEOUL: Lee Jae-young<\/a>, vice chairman of global tech giant Samsung Electronics<\/a>, is facing a nine-year prison term in the bribery case. That also involved former President Park Geun-Hye<\/a>, the media reported.
During a final hearing on Wednesday, prosecutors demanded a nine-year prison term for Lee, reports the Korea Herald.
The court has designated January 18 next year as the date for a final ruling.
\"Samsung<\/a> is a group with such overwhelming power that it is said that Korean companies are divided into Samsung and non-Samsung,\" prosecutors were quoted as saying during the final hearing.
\"For the sound development of our society, Samsung's position is to show a firm attitude in corruption and set an example.\"
Prosecutors also demand seven-year jail terms for two other former Samsung executives, Jang Choong-ki and Park Sang-jin.
In his final statement, Lee said, \"I stood here with a regretful heart\". \"I want to make a new Samsung that is appropriate to the dignity of the country and be a good son to my respectable father,\" he added.
His father Lee Kun-hee, Samsung Electronics chairman and chief of South Korea's top conglomerate Samsung Group<\/a>, died on October 25 at age 78, more than six years after being hospitalised for a heart attack.
The de facto leader of the country's top conglomerate was initially sentenced to five years in jail in 2017 for bribing a longtime friend of former President Park as he sought the government's help in succeeding his father and securing control of Samsung Group.
He was freed a year later after the appeals court reduced the term to 2 1\/2 years, suspended for four years, dismissing most of the bribery charges against him.
