STORYLINE:
The South Korean Supreme Court on Thursday overturned a lower court’s acquittal of the Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung in an election law violation case.
Lee, who won the nomination of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party on Sunday, has been the favorite to win.
But his campaign suffered a blow Thursday after the Supreme Court ordered a lower court to review its earlier cancellation of his conviction over election law violation charges.
While it’s unclear the Seoul High Court will come up with a new ruling on Lee before the June 3 election, the development provided his conservative rivals with fodder for a political offensive.
Under South Korean law, anyone who receives a fine exceeding 1 million won ($683) for election law violations is barred from running for elections for five years.
