Drunk 'Binggrae 3rd Generation' Fined for Assaulting Police, Prosecutors Appeal
500 Million Won Fine Imposed in First Trial
The prosecution has appealed against Kim Dong-hwan, president of Binggrae, who was fined for assaulting police officers while intoxicated.
According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office filed an appeal on the 14th, arguing that the sentence was unjust regarding Kim, who was fined for obstructing official duties. Previously, the prosecution had requested a six-month prison sentence with a one-year probation, but the court sentenced him to a fine of 5 million won.
Kim is accused of causing a disturbance while intoxicated in an apartment complex in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, in June and assaulting police officers who responded to a resident's report.
