Trial of ex-Gyeonggi vice governor over alleged perjury

Park Sang-yong, a deputy prosecutor at the Incheon District Prosecutors Office, speaks to reporters as he heads to a district court in Suwon, south of Seoul, on June 16, 2026, to appear on the witness stand in the trial of former Gyeonggi Province Vice Gov. Lee Hwa-young over alleged perjury. Lee, currently serving a 7-year and 8-month prison sentence for illegal remittances to North Korea, testified during a 2024 National Assembly hearing that "prosecutors offered salmon and soju to coerce him," was later indicted for perjury.
