Arrest Warrant Issued for 50-Year-Old Man Who Attacked HaruInvest CEO with a Weapon in Court

The police have requested an arrest warrant for a man in his 50s who stabbed the CEO of Haru Invest with a weapon in court while the CEO was on trial for allegedly halting withdrawals of virtual assets worth around 1 trillion won.

On the 29th, the Yangcheon Police Station in Seoul announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for Mr. A on charges of attempted murder. Mr. A is accused of stabbing the neck of the CEO of Haru Invest with a weapon while sitting in the defendant's seat during a trial at the Seoul Southern District Court on the 3rd floor at 2:26 p.m. the previous day. Mr. Lee, who was transported to the hospital, is in a condition that is not life-threatening.

During the police investigation, Mr. A claimed to be a victim of the withdrawal suspension incident and reportedly stated that he committed the crime out of dissatisfaction with the losses caused by the withdrawal suspension. It was revealed that Mr. A passed through a security checkpoint equipped with metal detection, raising concerns about the court's security system.

Mr. Lee was arrested and indicted on charges of fraudulently receiving coins worth approximately 1.4 trillion won by deceiving customers from March 2020 until June last year, promising risk-free operation with principal guarantees and the highest returns in the industry when depositing with Haru Invest, until withdrawals were suspended.
