President Moon's daughter appeals against fine sentence for drunk driving and illegal lodging business - South Korea

Moon Da-hye (42), the daughter of former South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who was indicted on charges of drunk driving and illegal lodging, appealed the first-instance ruling that sentenced her to a fine.
Moon's side filed an appeal with the Seoul Western District Court on the 24th of this month. The prosecution also filed an appeal the day before (on the 23rd) on the grounds of the injustice of the "sentence," so both sides will appeal again in the second trial.
On the 17th, the Western Seoul District Court imposed a fine of 15 million won (approximately 1.48 million yen) on Mun, who was indicted on charges of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act and violation of the Public Health Management Act.
The court said at the time, "The defendant's drunk driving and failure to report in three locations while operating a lodging business are not light crimes," and "his blood alcohol level was high, and he was in a difficult position during the period he operated the lodging business.
"However, the defendant appears to have acknowledged his mistake and is deeply remorseful," he said. "He has no history of receiving criminal punishment prior to this incident.
Moon was driving a car while drunk in front of a hotel in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul on October 5 last year.
He was accused of drunk driving under the Road Traffic Act when he changed lanes and collided with a taxi behind him. His blood alcohol content at the time of the accident was over the license revocation limit (0.08%).
In addition, the company was found guilty of operating illegal lodging facilities in an office and villa in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, and a detached house in Jeju City, and was fined 100 million yen over a five-year period.
He was also accused of making 36 million won (approximately 13.45 million yen) in profits.
