我们有正在发展中韩国三星集团逃税起诉案的新发展。
Just last week Lee was indicted for tax evasion and breach of trust.
就在上周,李健熙因为逃税与违反诚信罪而被起诉。
[Lee Kun-hee, Former Samsung Group Chairman]:
“I will step down from the Samsung chairman position today. I am saddened as there is still much to do and a way to go, but I will leave with all the faults of the past.”
前三星主席李健熙说:“今天我决定辞去三星集团主席一职。我很难过因为仍有很多事情要做,并且以后的路还很长,但是我将把过去所有的过错一并带走。”
In January a special prosecutor launched a probe into corruption allegations. That came after a former top legal executive at the group said some of its top management hid money and kept a slush fund to bribe politicians, prosecutors and officials. But the prosecutor found no evidence to support the bribery allegation.
元月份时,一位特别检察官开始调查贪污控诉。是该集团一位前高阶法律主管说,一些高阶主管藏匿金钱,并且留置准备要行贿政治人物、检察官与官员的资金。但是检察官并未找到支持贿赂控诉的证据。
If found guilty on the tax evasion charge Lee could serve from five years to life in jail. South Koreans had divided opinions over Lee’s resignation.
如果逃税控诉成立的话,李健熙可能要服五年到无期徒刑。南韩人对李健熙的辞职意见分歧。
[Han Shin, 39-year-old]:
“It looks like a punishment for the chairman. The leader could have resigned after Samsung reflected on its past and reformed itself.”
39岁的韩先生说:“这看起来像是对主席的惩罚。在三星反省过去与改革的同时,领导者应该早就该辞职。”
[Lee Sang-hoon, 51-year-old]:
51岁的李先生说:”It’s good timing to end his job. Samsung will be able to develop more.”
“这是很好的辞职时间点,三星将能够更为发展。”
