‘Embezzlement of Corporate Funds’ Park Soo-hong’s Older Brother Appears for Warrant Substantive Hearing

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Park Suhong, a broadcaster, appeared for a detention warrant hearing on charges of embezzling funds from his management corporation. The suspect is Park's older brother, Park Mo.

The Seoul Western District Court held a pre-arrest suspect interrogation (warrant substantive examination) at 10:30 a.m. on the 13th for Park Mo, who is accused of embezzlement under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes.

Park is accused of establishing a management corporation with his wife and embezzling appearance fees and other funds without honoring profit-sharing promises. In April last year, Park Suhong filed a complaint with the prosecution, which found evidence of failure to settle appearance fees, shifting various taxes and expenses onto Park Suhong, and other charges, leading to a request for a pre-arrest warrant on the 8th.

In June last year, Park Suhong also filed a lawsuit seeking approximately 11.6 billion won in damages against Park and his wife, who have denied the allegations. It was also revealed that there are eight life insurance policies under Park Suhong's name, with some beneficiaries being companies wholly owned by Park and his wife.
