Oh Se-hoon acquitted on appeal
"Truth finds its place"
In short
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon was acquitted on appeal in a political funds law violation case.
The first trial's fine was overturned, and two co-defendants were also acquitted.
The special prosecution plans to appeal to the Supreme Court, so the ruling is not yet final.

What it means for me
