SEOUL - South Korea’s Supreme Court will deliver a ruling on the bribery conviction of Samsung Group heir Jay Y. Lee on Aug. 29 in a corruption scandal that led to the ouster of the country’s then-president in 2017, broadcaster YTN said on Friday. In February 2018, the 51-year old Samsung Electronics Co Ltd vice chairman was released after an appeals court gave him a suspended jail sentence on charges of bribery, embezzlement and others. Both Lee and state prosecutors appealed to the Supreme Court.
