Suspicion of Embezzlement of Supercar Sales Proceeds... No Prosecution for Cheongdam-dong Stock Tycoon's Younger Brother View original image

On the 13th, the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul announced that on the 29th of last month, they decided not to prosecute Lee Hee-moon, who was accused of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (embezzlement). Lee is the younger brother of Lee Hee-jin.


The police reportedly judged that there was insufficient evidence to support Lee's charges based solely on the complainant's claims, and thus found him not guilty.



In April, the Lee Hee-jin victims' group filed a complaint with the police, alleging that Lee embezzled 2 billion KRW by selling a supercar and delivering 500 million KRW to his parents. According to the group, on February 25, 2019, Lee sold a Bugatti Veyron through a car brokerage firm in Bundang, Gyeonggi Province, for 2 billion KRW, and 1.5 billion KRW of that amount was deposited into Deep Mining (formerly Mirae Investment Partners), a company owned by Lee. The remaining 500 million KRW was received in cash and handed over to his parents. On the same day, Kim Da-woon murdered Lee's parents and robbed the 500 million KRW.
