Park Soo-hong's older brother Park and his wife, who were accused of embezzling 6.1 billion won, including appearance fees, from broadcaster Park Soo-hong (52), admitted part of the charges at trial.



The 11th Division of the Criminal Agreement of the Seoul Western District Court (Presiding Judge Moon Byeong-chan) said on the same day that the legal representative of Park Soo-hong's older brother and his wife, Park Soo-hong, who were accused of embezzlement under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, said, "The defendants jointly embezzled on two occasions, such as by appointing a personal lawyer." I admit it, but I don't admit the other parts."



His older brother Park is accused of withdrawing 15 million won and 22 million won, respectively, from the company account where Park Soo-hong's performance fees are deposited in April and October of last year, after a legal dispute with Park Soo-hong, and used them for the cost of hiring a lawyer. .



Mr. and Mrs. Park said, "We will look at the data and give an opinion later," regarding the embezzlement of 100 million won in real estate registration costs from Park Soo-hong's corporate bankbook. He denied it, saying "I don't accept it".



Prosecutors believe that his older brother Park withdrew 2.9 billion won from Park Soo-hong's personal account without permission from the company, which was in fact Park Soo-hong's one-person agency, and embezzled 1.9 billion won by falsely accounting for the company's labor costs.



During this process, the prosecution found that Park misappropriated 180 million won of the company's money by stealing 1.17 billion won from the company to buy real estate and paying by credit card.



As the prosecutor read the indictment, Park Soo-hong's older brother Park, who was sitting in the defendant's seat wearing a blue shroud, closed his eyes as if in agony.

On the other hand, brother-in-law Lee, who is being tried without detention, answered the judge's questions in a relatively bright voice.

The siblings did not communicate separately.



Park Soo-hong filed a criminal complaint in April last year, saying that his brother and his wife, who worked as his managers for 30 years, did not keep their promise to distribute profits and embezzled his company money.

He also filed a lawsuit for damages worth a total of 11.6 billion won.
