The late Jang Ja-Yeon, who was indicted on suspicion of perjury in the defamation trial of Lee Jung-gol, then a member of the Democratic United Party, in November 2012, was heard by Chief Judge Jae.
The court sentenced Kim, the representative of the former management office of the company, to one year and six months in prison. The court then placed Kim under court custody, citing "risk of flight."
After the death of the late Jang JaYeon, Mr. Kim asked who Bang Yong-hoon, the president of Koreana Hotel, was.
He is accused of perjury for giving false testimony, saying that he knew the deceased's whereabouts, even though he had the deceased present at a drinking party with TV Chosun's former CEO Bang Jong-oh.
In the first trial, Mr. Kim was found not guilty of some of the charges and given a four-month prison sentence suspended for one year, but in the second trial he was found guilty of all charges.
Meanwhile, the late Jang JaYeon passed away on March 7, 2009 at his home in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. He was 30 years old.
