Prosecutors seek 9-yr jail term for Samsung Vice Chairman in bribery case
South Korean prosecutors have requested a nine-year jail term for Samsung Vice Chairman Jay Y Lee during the retrial of a 2016 bribery case. Samsung should "set the example" for efforts to root out corruption, a prosecutor said. Lee had been sentenced to jail for five years in 2017 for bribing an associate of former South Korean President Park Geun-hye.
