Samsung chairman acquitted all over again.
Today Korea’s Supreme Court cleared Lee Jae-yong of stock manipulation charges related to a merger which helped him take control of the company founded by his grandfather. He was acquitted by a lower court last February, which prosecutors appealed, but the country’s top court sided with the Samsung man.
