In South Korea, an arrest warrant for the head of Samsung Electronics

South Korean concern Samsung continue to pursue troubles. It would seem that everyone just forgot about the fiasco with the recall of the smartphone Galaxy Note 7, but it turns out that the head of Samsung Electronics Lee Jae-yong is involved in the corruption scandal leading to the impeachment of the incumbent President Pak Kun Hye December 9 past of the year. The Attorney General of South Korea has already issued a warrant for the arrest of Li Jaeyong in connection with the surfaced facts that he gave multimillion bribes to key government figures in exchange for his company's support on their part.

Investigators found that the head of Samsung transferred tens of millions of dollars to non-profit organizations related to Choi Song Sun, a woman who is the gray cardinal of South Korean politics and close friend of President Pak Kun He. In return, the head of Samsung Electronics received from the authorities their patronage and various indulgences. Li Jayon last week spent a total of 22 hours during interrogation in the prosecutor's office. There, for interrogation, the heads of other Korean companies, such as LG and Hyundai, were delivered.

Lee Jaeon is the son of chairman of the Samsung concern Lee Gonghi and is considered a future successor to his father's position. In the people and the media, they call him "crown prince of Samsung". Li Jayon's personal fortune is estimated at about $ 5 billion, which makes him one of the three richest people in South Korea. But how will the businessman's fate now, when he was issued a warrant for arrest, is not entirely clear. However, one thing is clear: it is unlikely that such a turn of events will positively affect the business of Samsung.
