The fine imposed on Hong Seong-yeol, chairman of Mario Outlet, who was charged with insult for verbally abusing employees, has been finalized.
On the 31st, the Supreme Court's 1st Division (Presiding Justice No Tae-ak) held a sentencing hearing for Hong's appeal trial on the insult charge and upheld the lower court's ruling of a 3 million won fine.
The court, like the lower courts, judged that Hong's actions did not constitute a justifiable act.
