Samsung Group's head quizzed by prosecutors

Seoul

SAMSUNG Group leader Jay Y Lee appeared at the South Korean special prosecutor's office on Thursday for questioning, on suspicion of bribery in an influence-peddling scandal that may force President Park Geun-hye from office.

The country's top conglomerate has become key in the investigation of Ms Park, who was impeached by parliament last month over the corruption scandal. She will be the country's first democratically elected leader to be removed from office if the court upholds the impeachment. She has denied wrongdoing.
