There was a lot of illegality in the process of succession to the Samsung Group's management rights, and the arrest warrant that the prosecution claimed against Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Jae-Yong Lee was dismissed early today (9th). The court cited the'principle' of the disarmament trial, saying it lacked a vocation to explain why it was necessary and why it should be.

Judge Won Jeong-sook, the Seoul Central District Court, dismissed the arrest warrant of Jae-yong Lee at 2:00 am today.

First, Judge Won said that the allegation of illegal succession in Samsung's management was uncovered.

However, in view of the importance of the case, the prosecution seems to have secured considerable evidence, he explained that it is reasonable to decide whether or not the vice president is responsible through sufficient attrition and hearing during the trial process.

It emphasized the principles of the disability trial.

The court also dismissed both Choi Ji-sung's former Future Strategy Officer and Kim Jong-jung's former US Warroom Strategy Team's arrest warrant for the same reason.

The vice-chairman, who had been waiting for a warrant yesterday after waiting for the warrant, returned home shortly after the warrant was dismissed.

[Lee Jae-yong/Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman: (Is there any doubt that you have been ordered or reported illegal merger? Do you still deny it?)

This vice-chairman ran a top secret TF called Project G under Samsung's unprecedented room to instruct the succession of management and Samsung. The company is accused of tampering with stock prices during the merger process.

The prosecution said it was unhappy with the court's decision to dismiss the court, and said it would make full efforts for future investigations regardless of the results of the warrant.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office is planning to hold the Morea Deliberation Committee and decide whether to refer the case to the Prosecutors' Review Committee.
