Lee, 52, was originally sentenced in 2017 to five years in prison for offering 8.6 billion won ($7 million) in bribes to Park and her longtime friend Choi Soon-sil. But he was freed after 11 months in February 2018 after the Seoul High Court reduced his term to 2 years and suspended his sentence, overturning key convictions and reducing the amount of his bribes. The Supreme Court last week confirmed a 20-year prison sentence for Park, who was convicted of colluding with Choi to take millions of dollars in bribes and extortion money from some of the country's largest business groups, including Samsung, while she was in office from 2013 to 2016. The ruling meant that Park, who also has a separate conviction for illegally meddling in her party's candidate nominations ahead of 2016 parliamentary elections, could potentially serve 22 years behind bars until 2039, when she would be 87. Choi is serving an 18-year prison sentence. In a news conference Monday, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said he has no immediate plans to grant presidential pardons to Park and another imprisoned former president, Lee Myung-bak, who's serving a 17-year term for corruption. Conservative politicians and some members of Moon's liberal party have endorsed the idea of pardoning the former presidents for the sake of national unity as the country's deeply split electorate approaches presidential elections in March 2022.
