South Korean court denies arrest warrant request for Samsung heir

SEOUL - A South Korean court on Tuesday (June 9) denied an arrest warrant request for Samsung Group heir Jay Y. Lee after prosecutors accused him of accounting fraud and stock manipulation.

But he may face further pressure from the case at a time when the world's top maker of smartphones and memory chips contends with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on demand. Prosecutors last week asked the court to issue an arrest warrant for the 51-year-old Lee, as part of a probe into alleged accounting fraud involving a Samsung drugs affiliate and a 2015 merger of two other affiliates.
