SEOUL (Kyodo) -- South Korea's Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a suspended prison sentence against the chairman of South Korea's Lotte Group over a bribery scandal that led to the ousting in 2017 of the country's then president.
In October 2018, the Seoul High Court overturned a lower court ruling that sentenced Shin Dong Bin to 30 months in prison, by suspending the sentence for four years.
