The vice chairman of Samsung Electronics, Lee Jae-yong, is far from out of the worst. And this despite the fact that the Central District Court in the city of Seoul rejected the request of the special prosecutor, which related to the preliminary detention of the vice chairman. Mr. Lee Jae-yong was summoned to the prosecutor's office yesterday, where he was questioned for 15 hours. The spokesman of the office himself confirmed that a request for the preliminary arrest of the current vice-chairman of the South Korean giant will be submitted again.
The entire arrest of the Samsung vice chairman is de facto based on bribery charges. According to the first lawsuit, he was guilty of huge bribes that reached the border of 1 billion crowns, more precisely 926 million crowns. He tried to bribe South Korean President Park Geun-hye's confidant just to get bonuses.
This gentleman was already arrested in December, due to a confession in which he stated that he ordered the third largest pension fund in the world to support the already mentioned merger worth 2015 billion dollars in 8. In addition, Lee Jae-yong was interrogated less than a month ago, for 22 hours.
“According to the latest information from Korea, the largest independent investigation team overseeing the entire corruption scandal will seek another arrest warrant for Lee Jae-yong. The arrest warrant should be filed already in February. The court rejected the first request because it did not consider the vice-chairman to be such a person who could be a risk to society - he did not have to be detained."
