On the 14th, the "Sewol" shipwreck accident report was falsely sentenced, and Park Geun-hye Former Chief of Staff Kim Ki-chun was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation during the government. Regarding the judgment, the survivor of the Seyue family said that it was "unacceptable".
According to Yonhap News Agency , the Criminal Court of the Seoul Central District Court pronounced the sentence on the same day that the defendant Kim Ki-chun was convicted and sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation. The other defendants in the case, former National Security Office director, Kim Jong-soo and Kim Kwan-jin were not accused.
Kim Ki-chun and Kim Jong-soo are suspected of providing false information to Congress on the accident report at the Presidential Palace. The time when Park Geun-hye received written and telephone reports recorded in the document are inconsistent with the facts. After the accident, Jinkuan Town ordered a move to the basic policy of national crisis management, and modified its content to "the National Security Office is not a disaster safety control center" to evade responsibility.
Regarding the judgment result, the survivor of the "Sewol" stated that it was "unacceptable" and protested before the court.
According to previous reports, Kim Jong-soo, the former head of the National Security Office of the Blue House, advocated that he would report the " Sewo " incident to Park Geun-hye from 10:19 to 20 am (Korean time), but Park Geun-hye received a call report two minutes later, which had missed the rescue prime time of 10:17. In order to shirk responsibility, the Park Geun-hye government changed the time it received the report to 10 o'clock.
On April 16, 2014, a shipwreck with 476 people occurred near the coast of Jindao County, Jeolla South Province, South Korea, killing 304 people and injuring 142 people.
