2008 The president of the South Korean group Samsung was accused, Thursday April 17, of tax avoidance and breach of trust. Lee Kun-hee will remain in freedom until the behaviour of the lawsuit just as its nine fellow accused. The investigation was launched in January after the charges carried by an old framework of the legal direction of Samsung, according to which leaders would have constituted a black case of more than 200 million dollars (125 million euros) to corrupt senior officials. If it finally exonerated Samsung of the charges of corruption, the prosecutor said to have put to the day an organization within the group intended to dissimulate several billion dollars of credits and to transfer to the children from Lee a part of the cases of the group.     AFP
2005 Samsung has agreed to pay a $300m fine after admitting it participated in a huge international price-fixing conspiracy in the market for D-Rams between 1999 and 2002.     Financial Times

2007Kim Yong-chul, Samsung’s former chief in-house lawyer and a prosecutor before that, has contended that Samsung stashed away a $217 million dollars slush fund. He said it was created with company money, hidden in dummy stock and bank accounts in the names of executives, including his own, and used to bribe politicians, prosecutors and journalists, and even to finance an art collection for the chairman’s family. : translateNew York Times
