Son of Samsung chairman questioned in probe

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The son of the chief of powerful Samsung Group appeared for questioning Thursday by special prosecutors investigating allegations of corruption at the huge conglomerate.

I know there are a lot of concerns about me and Samsung, Lee Jae-yong, son of Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee, told reporters upon arrival for questioning in live footage broadcast by cable news channel YTN.

Yonhap news agency and other media reported earlier that the younger Lee, an executive at Samsung Electronics — the conglomerate’s flagship — was to be queried about alleged shady dealings involving the group’s corporate structure.

Special prosecutors could not immediately be reached.

A Samsung Group spokesman, Yim Jun-seok, said he had no other details on what subjects Lee was to be questioned.
