SEOUL, Oct 29 : South Korea's Supreme Court on Thursday confirmed a seven-year prison sentence for the CEO of the company that operated the ill-fated Sewol ferry, which sank last year with the loss of more than 300 lives.
The ruling upheld the sentence passed by an appeals court in May, which found Kim Han-Sik, the president of Chonghaejin Marine Co., guilty of manslaughter and embezzlement.     ?AFP
