Samsung Prince appears in court for the first time and is present at the independent inspection team and Samsung executives
2017-04-07
Overseas Network, April 7th. According to Yonhap News Agency, at 10 a.m. local time on the 7th, the Seoul Central District Court held a trial of four senior executives of Samsung Group, including Samsung Prince Lee Jae-yong. This is the first time that Lee Jae-yong has appeared in court as a defendant.
Due to the serious concern, Park Young-soo, the independent prosecutor who was responsible for investigating and prosecuting Lee Jae-yong, made an exception to attend. Samsung executives were also present.
On February 17, Lee Jae-yong was arrested by the Seoul Central District Court for suspected bribing 43 billion won to Park Geun-hye and her confidant Choi Soon-sil. However, in two investigations and interrogations conducted by the independent inspection team, Lee Jae-yong denied allegations of bribery and advocated funds provided under pressure from Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil.
