[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The second trial panel for Professor Jeong Gyeongshim of Dongyang University, who was indicted for her children's admission bribery and private equity fund suspicions and sentenced to 4 years in prison and detained in the first trial, has been decided.
According to the legal community on the 5th, the Seoul High Court assigned Professor Jeong's appeal case to Criminal Division 1 (Chief Judges Jeong Junyoung, Song Youngseung, and Kang Sangwook).
