This is because there is a high possibility that the ‘trial burden’ on Representative Lee will increase further depending on the prosecution’s investigation in the future. The prosecution plans to form a dedicated investigation team and vigorously investigate allegations of misconduct around CEO Lee.

Recently, the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office even formed a ‘dedicated investigation team’ to take charge of the investigation surrounding CEO Lee.
The investigation is focused on not only the suspicion of Ssangbangwool remittances to North Korea, but also the alleged misappropriation of a corporate card by CEO Lee’s spouse, Kim Hye-kyung.
The Seongnam branch office has also booked CEO Lee on charges of breach of trust in the ‘suspicion of preferential development of a hotel in Jeongja-dong’.
The content of each case is complex, and the investigation records submitted by the prosecution to the court amount to 200,000 pages, so the trial hearing is likely to take a long time.
In the legal world, there are predictions that the trial involving CEO Lee will last at least two years.
