According to reports, education and renovation facilities nationwide in South Korea recently submitted a pre-trial list of offenders on parole on Liberation Day to the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice will pass the parole review committee at the beginning of next month to finalize the target of parole. Due to rumors that Lee Jae-yong was included in the list submitted by the Seoul Detention Center, there have been endless predictions that he will be released on parole. According to the Ministry of Justice, because the pre-trial list of parole offenders is personal information, it is impossible to disclose whether Li Zairong is on the list.
Korean media pointed out that Li will serve 60% of his sentence in August and meet the conditions for parole. Although the “Criminal Law” stipulates that one-third of the sentence is eligible for parole, the Ministry of Justice has only issued parole to criminals who have served 80% of the sentence. Since the Ministry of Legal Affairs has reduced the actual review standard to 60% from this month, Lee Jae-yong is also the subject of review.
Song Yongji, the leader of the ruling Common Democratic Party, has also stated that according to the regulations of the Ministry of Justice, Lee Jae-yong will serve 60% of his sentence in August and meet the conditions for parole. Presumably, the government is considering the requirements of the semiconductor industry and public opinion.
Regarding the issue of Li Zayong’s parole being raised again, a senior official from South Korea’s Blue House stated on the 21st that parole should be carried out in accordance with the regulations and procedures of the Ministry of Justice.
