SEOUL - Former South Korean President Lee Myung-bak will appeal a court verdict that last week sentenced him to 15 years in prison for corruption, his lawyer said on Friday (Oct 12).
Lee was found guilty of bribery and embezzlement charges - becoming the latest of the country's former leaders to be jailed after leaving office.
The conservative politician, who helmed Hyundai Construction before his election to the presidency, was separately ordered to pay a fine of 13 billion won (S$15.8 million) by the Seoul Central District Court.
