Samsung Electronics Co. de facto leader Jay Y. Lee had one more meeting than previously disclosed with former President Park Geun-hye, a witness said, supporting an assertion by prosecutors that the billionaire heir sought to cover up bribery involving the world’s biggest memory chipmaker.
Park’s former secretary Ahn Bong-geun, who took the stand Monday, said he showed Lee into the house within South Korea’s presidential compound to meet with Park in 2014. Lee’s lawyers have said that Park and Lee met only once, in the city of Daegu for five minutes in the same year.
