Lee’s elder brother returns, likely to face summons
By Korea HeraldPublished : Oct. 24, 2012 - 20:15
Lee Sang-eun, President Lee Myung-bak’s eldest brother, on Thursday returned home from an overseas trip as scheduled amid a widening probe by independent investigators into a property scandal ensnaring the first family.
The 79-year-old chairman of automotive seat maker DAS, who is also involved in the scandal, had left for China on a business trip on Oct. 16, a day before the special investigative team sought a travel ban for him. He was scheduled to return Thursday.
The special investigative team said they plan to call him in for questioning as soon as possible. It is scheduled to question Thursday Lee Shi-hyung, the president’s son.
The scandal centers around the purchase in May 2011 of a plot of land in Naegokdong, southern Seoul, by Shi-hyung and the presidential security office for the president’s retirement house. Sang-eun loaned about 600 million won to Shi-hyung for the purchase.
