key materials that the prosecution are expected to present at the warrant screening today are related to the so-called'Project G', Samsung's private project.

This is a project that Samsung has been pursuing in secret since 2012, and G has taken the lead in governance.

It is known that Jeon Ji-sung, former chief of the Future Strategy Division, and former Jong-joong Kim, the former chief of the Future Strategy Planning Team, who have been ordered along with the arrest warrant, have taken specific actions to promote the succession of this vice chairman.

In the case of Project G, Samsung SDS and Everland, which had high stakes in the vice chairman, are the key scenarios to increase group dominance. In 2014, Everland, which changed its name to Samsung SDS and Cheil Industries, was listed.

During this process, it was reported that the prosecution secured the materials including the contents that the Vice-Chairman received and revised related business contents.

It was also reported that after President Lee Kun-hee collapsed in a myocardial infarction, he planned to sell the stakes in Samsung Life Insurance to finance the inheritance tax.

It is known that both Choi Ji-sung and Kim Jong-jung also acknowledged that the Prosecutor's investigation had written the Project G document for reporting to the vice president.

Prosecutors are expected to highlight the need for redemption by presenting relevant evidence at the warrant today.

Samsung said it had never reported or ordered any illegal content, saying that Vice President Lee did not know the existence of a document related to Project G.
