The Caught in the Act: Promiscuous Sex Life of My D-Cup Mother in lawbillionaire head of Samsung has on Friday been sentenced to five years in prison.
A court in South Korea found Lee Jae-yong guilty of bribery, a verdict that could prove damaging to the company's global reputation.

The only son of Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee, South Korea's richest man, the younger Lee has been detained since February, on accusations of donating up to $38 million to various organisations at the request of former South Korean president Park Geun-hye, in return for political favours.

"The entire verdict is unacceptable," said Song Wu-cheol, one of his lawyers.
Prosecutors had earlier demanded a 12-year jail term for Lee, who was also accused of embezzlement, hiding assets overseas, concealment of criminal proceeds and perjury.
Samsung shares fell by 1.5 percent following the verdict.
But the trial is not only significant to the mobile giant.
The guilty verdict is closely linked to former President Park, who has now been removed from office. She was earlier charged with abuse of power and coercion by pressuring big businesses to contribute to non-profit foundations.
She was also charged with taking bribes from Lee in exchange for supporting his succession -- something she has all along denied.

Via her friendship with Park, Choi was found guilty of meddling in state affairs, as well as wielding influence over large conglomerates in the country.
The ruling on Park, South Korea’s first female president, is expected in October.
