Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung tests positive for COVID-19, what will happen to her trial? Final hearing for Public Offices Election Law violation case postponed (South Korea)
The final hearing of the trial for the violation of the Public Offices Election Act by Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, has been postponed. As Lee has been infected with COVID-19, it is expected that the trial will be postponed one after another.
According to the legal community on the 22nd, Lee was infected with COVID-19 that day and requested a postponement of the trial date for his violation of the Public Offices Election Act, which was scheduled for the 23rd.
As a result, the final hearing of the case, which was originally scheduled for the 6th of next month, has been postponed.
The closing hearing will include the prosecution's sentencing request, the defense's closing arguments, and Lee's final statement.
The court is expected to hold a final hearing on September 20, which has been added as a hearing date.
The trial for instigating perjury, which is in its final stages, is also likely to be postponed. Lee's isolation has also hindered the trial for instigating perjury, which was originally scheduled to end on the 26th and be held on the 30th of next month.
If the trial is postponed due to Lee's absence, the final hearing and verdict in this case are also likely to be delayed.
