Seoul: Billionaire Samsung<\/a> scion Lee Jae-yong<\/a> was sent back to prison on Monday after a South Korean court handed him a two and a half-year sentence for his involvement in a 2016 corruption scandal that spurred massive protests and ousted South Korea's then-president.

In a much-anticipated retrial, the Seoul High Court found Lee guilty of bribing then-President
Park Geun-hye<\/a> and her close confidante to win government support for a 2015 merger between two Samsung affiliates. The deal helped strengthen his control over the country's largest business group.

Lee's lawyers had portrayed him as a victim of presidential power abuse and described the 2015 deal as part of \"normal business activity.\"

Wearing a mask and black suit and tie, Lee was taken into custody following the ruling. He didn't answer questions by reporters upon his arrival at the court.

Injae Lee, an attorney who leads Lee Jae-yong's defense team, expressed regret over the court's decision, saying that the \"essence of the case is that a former president abused power to infringe upon the freedom and property rights of a private company.\"

He didn't specifically say whether there would be an appeal. Samsung didn't issue a statement over the ruling.

Lee Jae-yong helms the
Samsung group<\/a> in his capacity as vice chairman of Samsung Electronics<\/a>, one of the world's largest makers of computer chips and smartphones.

In September last year, prosecutors separately indicted Lee on charges of stock price manipulation, breach of trust and auditing violations related to the 2015 merger.

It isn't immediately clear what his prison term would mean for Samsung. Samsung didn't show much signs of trouble during the previous time Lee spent in jail in 2017 and 2018, and prison terms have never really stopped South Korean corporate leaders from relaying their management decisions from behind bars.

Samsung is coming off a robust business year, with its dual strength in parts and finished products enabling it to benefit from the coronavirus pandemic and the prolonged trade war between United States and China.

Samsung's semiconductor business rebounded sharply after a sluggish 2019, driven by robust demand for PCs and servers as virus outbreaks forced millions of people to stay and work at home.

The Trump administration's sanctions against China's
Huawei Technologies<\/a> have meanwhile hindered one of Samsung's biggest rivals in smartphones, smartphone chips and telecommunications equipment.

Samsung Electronics said earlier this month that its operating profit for the last quarter likely rose by 26% from the same period a year earlier to 9 trillion won (USD 8.1 billion). The company will release its finalized earnings later this month.

Lee, 52, was originally sentenced in 2017 to five years in prison for offering 8.6 billion won (USD 7 million) in bribes to Park and her longtime friend Choi Soon-sil. But he was freed after 11 months in February 2018 after the Seoul High Court reduced his term to 2½ years and suspended his sentence, overturning key convictions and reducing the amount of his bribes.

The
Supreme Court<\/a> last week confirmed a 20-year prison sentence for Park, who was convicted of colluding with Choi to take millions of dollars in bribes and extortion money from some of the country's largest business groups, including Samsung, while she was in office from 2013 to 2016.

The ruling meant that Park, who also has a separate conviction for illegally meddling in her party's candidate nominations ahead of 2016 parliamentary elections, could potentially serve 22 years behind bars until 2039, when she would be 87.

Choi is serving an 18-year prison sentence.

In a news conference Monday, South Korean President
Moon Jae-in<\/a> said he has no immediate plans to grant presidential pardons to Park and another imprisoned former president, Lee Myung-bak, who's serving a 17-year term for corruption.

Conservative politicians and some members of Moon's liberal party have endorsed the idea of pardoning the former presidents for the sake of \"national unity\" as the country's deeply split electorate approaches presidential elections in March 2022.<\/p><\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":80331147,"title":"Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.06 finally available on Google Stadia","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/cyberpunk-2077-patch-1-06-finally-available-on-google-stadia\/80331147","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[{"msid":"80331308","title":"Samsung Group heir Jay Y.
