South Korean special prosecutor`s office said it will decide by no later than Wednesday on whether to request an arrest warrant for Samsung Group [SAGR.UL] chief Jay Y. Lee.
Lee, third-generation leader of the country`s top conglomerate, was questioned for more than 15 hours after being summoned as a suspect by the special prosecution on Monday. He is accused of pledging payments to a company and organizations backed by President Park Geun-hye`s confidant, Choi Soon-sil, to win support for a 2015 merger of two affiliates.
