Oh Se-hoon, the mayor of Seoul, expressed confidence regarding the appeal ruling in his political fund law violation case, stating, "I believe favorable and decisive evidence that was not presented in the first trial has been submitted."
Speaking to reporters at the Seoul High Court, where the appeal ruling hearing was taking place, Oh added, "Let’s wait for the court's decision."
Oh was indicted last December without detention for allegedly receiving polling results from Myung Tae-kyun and having businessman Kim Han-jeong cover the costs of 33 million won in polling expenses over ten instances leading up to the April 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election.
In the first trial, held on July 22, Oh was fined 10 million won and ordered to forfeit 21 million won. Kim was fined 5 million won, while former Seoul Deputy Mayor Kang Cheol-won received a fine of 3 million won.
