Samsung chief Jay Y. Lee arrested in corruption investigation

Samsung Group chief Jay Y. Lee was arrested early on Friday over his alleged role in a corruption scandal that led parliament to impeach President Park Geun-hye, in a blow to the world's biggest maker of smartphones. The 48-year-old Lee, vice chairman of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, was taken into custody at the Seoul Detention Centre, where he had awaited the court's decision following a day-long closed-door hearing that ended on Thursday evening.

The judge's decision was announced at about 5:30 a.m. (2030 GMT) on Friday, more than 10 hours after Lee, the conglomerate's third-generation leader, had left the court.
The same court rejected a request from prosecutors last month to arrest Lee. On Tuesday, the special prosecutor's office had requested a warrant to arrest him and another executive, Samsung Electronics president Park Sang-jin, on bribery and other charges.

However, the court rejected the request to arrest Park, who also heads the Korea Equestrian Federation, saying it was not needed given his "position, the boundary of his authority and his actual role."

The prosecution said it had secured additional evidence and brought more charges against Lee in the latest warrant request.
"We acknowledge the cause and necessity of the arrest," a judge said in his ruling, citing the extra charges and evidence.
A spokeswoman for Samsung, which is also the world's biggest maker of memory chips and flat-screen TVs, did not have immediate comment on the arrest.
The group and Lee have denied wrongdoing in the case.
