It is expected to decide whether to hand over the case related to Samsung Electronics' vice chairman Lee Jae-yong, who was filed for a warrant of arrest for suspicion over succession of management rights, to the Supreme Prosecutors' Office's Attorney Review Committee.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said it plans to hold a deliberation hearing committee on the 11th and discuss the matters that will bring the vice chairman's case to the prosecution investigation committee.

The prosecution asked the investigative team and the vice-president attorney to prepare and submit the necessary opinions for the deliberation.

The deliberation committee is made up of 15 people selected by random lottery among prosecutors and citizens.

If the deputy council decides to convene an investigative hearing, the Attorney General must accept it and convene a prosecutor.

Vice Chairman Lee Jong-joong and the lawyer at the former Samsung Future Strategy Office, on the 2nd, submitted an application for convocation asking the judge to judge the validity of the prosecution.

Judgment of the prosecution by an investigative committee made up of external experts is only advisory and not necessarily followed by the investigative team.
