SEOUL, Oct 5 (Reuters) - A South Korean appeals court on
Friday found the chief of Lotte Group guilty of charges
including bribery and breach of trust, but suspended his jail
term, setting him free, according to Yonhap news agency. 
    A lower court had jailed Shin Dong-bin in February for
corruption in a political scandal that roiled the country and
led to the ouster of former South Korean President Park
Geun-hye.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N1Q32Z0
