The court in Seoul arrested the head of Samsung

The court of South Korea arrested the vice president and the actual head of Samsung Lee Jae Yen. It is reported by Yonhap.

The agency added that the court did not satisfy the petition for the arrest of the president of the company Pak Sanjin.

According to investigators, Samsung transferred 22 billion won ($ 18 million) to the accounts of the company of the Presidential President Choha Song Sil. The country's authorities, in turn, helped corporations in the merger of two branches. The investigation established that the decision on payments personally made Lee Zhe Yun.

On February 16, he was interrogated the second time as part of the case of corruption surrounded by President of South Korea Pak Kyn Hy, who was removed from his post.

For the first time, the prosecutor’s office demanded to arrest Lee Jae Yen on January 16, but the court rejected this request, since he did not see the “need to arrest”.

The prosecutor's office of South Korea detained Choi Sun Sil on October 31. The president’s girlfriend was accused of using his influence in order to force large South Korean corporations to make multimillion donations in two funds associated with her-MIR and K-SPORTS.

In addition, during the investigation, it was found that Choi Sun Sil participated in the adoption of state decisions, without taking any posts. After that, the parliament announced impeachment to the president. By the summer of 2017, the Supreme Court will either confirm the impeachment or restore Park Kyn Hee in office.
