Yoo Byung-Eun, chairman of the former Semo Group, who had been under investigation by prosecutors for alleged embezzlement of the Sewol ferry operator Cheonghae Shipping, was arrested in the US Federal Sheriff's Office yesterday (23rd) at the US Federal Sheriff's Office yesterday. Reported.

After the April Sewol tragedy in April 2014, the Korean prosecutors asked Yu to attend three times, and US permanent resident Yu has refused to return.

The prosecution issued an interrogation to Red through Interpol, which was arrested by US investigators in six years.

Mr. Yoo led the management of the affiliates of the Semo Group, following the former Semo Group Chairman Yoo Byeong-Eun, the real owner of Sewol Sewol.


The prosecution's understanding of the amount of alleged embezzlement and misconduct amounts to KRW 55.6 billion.

The U.S. Department of Justice is in the process of extradition, but if Mr. Yoo appeals, he will have to go through trial, and the timing and time of delivery is unknown.

My sister Sumna, who was serving a sentence for four years in jail on charges of misconduct, was arrested in Paris, France, in May 2014, and was decided to repatriate.

The Incheon Prosecutors' Office, which has been investigating Yu's family, will resume the investigation as soon as Yu is returned.
