South Korea: Former President Gets 17-year Jail Term For Bribery
Against the charges of bribery during the office-term, former South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak has been given a 17-year imprisonment. Ending Lee's bail, the country's Supreme Court upheld that 78-year-old Lee had taken a bribe of around $8.2 million. He was the President of South Korea from 2008 to 2013. Interestingly, the country's all four living former Presidents are either in jail or have been in Jail due to political rivalries.
