Lee Jae-yong, the de facto CEO of Samsung Group, has been found guilty of bribery and four other charges. Lee has been sentenced to 5 years in prison. His supporters argue that prosecutors were politically motivated against Lee and former President Park Geun-hye, who is still on trial. Lee’s lawyers have also pledged to appeal the sentence. Press TV correspondent Frank Smith reports from the South Korean capital.
