A South Korean special prosecutor may indict Samsung Group executives, including Jay Y. Lee, on Tuesday in connection with an influence-peddling scandal that’s put the heir behind bars and led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye.
“Almost all” of the five executives suspected of wrongdoing, including Lee, are likely to be indicted when prosecutor Park Young-soo makes his final decision tomorrow, his spokesman Lee Kyu-chul told reporters on Monday. He had already said earlier this month that the Samsung Electronics Co. vice chairman would be indicted.
