[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] Im Seok, former chairman of Solomon Savings Bank, who was identified as a key figure in the 2012 savings bank scandal and investigated, has been handed over to the prosecution on charges of assaulting a debtor.
On the 12th, the Suseo Police Station in Seoul sent Im, the former chairman, to the prosecution without detention on assault charges on the 8th. Im is accused of visiting the office of a real estate development company operated by his acquaintance Mr. A in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on December 28 last year, and repeatedly hitting Mr. A's neck and abdomen, causing injuries.
He denied the assault charges during the investigation, but the police judged that the charges were valid based on CCTV footage from the office at the time.
