His wife and children filed a lawsuit against Choi Soon-young, former chairman of Shin Dong-a Group, who lives a luxurious life and does not pay large fines and taxes.
It is claimed that the confiscated art works do not belong to Choi, but theirs, but reporter Lee Ho-gun covered what happened.

Last March, the Seoul Metropolitan Government's arrears tax collection team stormed into the luxury villa where Choi Soon-young, former chairman of Shin Dong-a Group, lived.

They confiscated 20 pieces of cash, including 50,000 won bills, dollars, and expensive artworks.
However, a month later, Choi's wife, Lee Hyung-ja, and their two children filed a claim for ownership verification against Choi.
They were claiming that the seized items were theirs, not Choi's.
It is written that the collection is worth 81 million won with a total of 18 points including 7 pictures, 2 photos, a TV and a treadmill, but the actual value is estimated to be higher.
If former Chairman Choi fails to respond to the lawsuit or loses by responding passively, the confiscated items must be returned to the family.
To prevent this, the Seoul Metropolitan Government decided to participate in the lawsuit and submitted an application for sub-participation to the court.

Reporters have contacted several times to hear the position, but Choi refused to respond.
