President's brother jailed
A South Korean court on Thursday sentenced the older brother of President Lee Myung-bak to two years in jail after convicting him on corruption charges. The Seoul Central District Court also ordered Lee Sang-deuk, 77, to pay fines totalling 750 million won ($701,600) - the same sum he was found guilty of taking in kickbacks from bankers and a businessman.
