<Anchor> For the
vice-president of Samsung Electronics, Jae-Yong Lee, the prosecution filed a warrant for arrest today (4th). Five years ago, the prosecution judged that the merger between Samsung C&T and Cheil Industries, and Samsung Bio's division accounting process were all organized systematically at the company level in order to succeed management and increase group dominance. Vice chairman Lee Jae-yong, who was arrested for probation because he was arrested for a bribery case, was to be arrested again next Monday.
First, reporter Bae Jun-woo.
<Reporter> The
allegations that the prosecution applied while requesting a warrant for arrest from Samsung Electronics vice-president Jae-Yong Lee are in violation of the Capital Markets Act, illegal trading, market manipulation, and violation of the External Audit Act of the Corporation.
At this time, the prosecution judged that the merger at that time secured a stake in integrated Samsung C&T, the holding company, by vice chairman Lee Jae-yong, and strengthened the group's control.
In addition, in September 2015, the issue of capital erosion occurred during the accounting process following the merger.
Jeon Ji-sung, former head of the Future Strategy Division and Kim Jong-jung, former head of the Future Strategy Team, also filed a warrant for the same charges.
Vice Chairman Jae-Yong Lee denied the allegations, but the prosecution said there was no problem with the allegations.
The warrant review for Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong will be held next Monday at 10:30 am in the Seoul Central District Court.
