Lee was also found guilty of hiding assets abroad and perjury. But Lee denied the wrongdoings, also one of his lawyers said that he would appeal.
Next year this case is likely to be brought all the way up to the Supreme Court. This five year sentence is the one of the longest sentence given in South Korea to a business leader.
