Mr Lee, the CEO of Haru Invest, a virtual asset investment company, was attacked with a weapon at the courthouse.
It is reported that Mr.
Harussae Coin’s victim is known to be a man in his 40s who committed the crime.
It is reported that he came in with a small weapon hidden under his clothes and was sitting in the audience when he suddenly got up and lunged at Mr Lee, who was sitting in the defender’s seat, turning the weapon several times.
Mr Lee fell down bleeding and was stopped by court guards.
Police and the 119 rescue team arrived at the courthouse around 2:30 and took Representative Lee to the hospital, but he was reported to be in critical condition.
The Yangcheon Police Station in Seoul announced that the man who committed the crime was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is being investigated.
Previously, Haru Invest Korea stopped withdrawals for virtual assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum deposited by customers on June 13, 2023 and closed its headquarters.
Prosecutors arrested and charged three executives of Haru Invest, Korea’s largest dog investor, in February on charges of defrauding 16,000 domestic victims of 1.4 trillion won.
They are accused of deceiving victims by saying that if they invest coins, they will guarantee the principal and return high profits through diversified investment and risk-free management.
Mr Lee, who was under investigation, was arrested and charged with fraud under the Enhanced Penalty for Special Economic Crimes Act in February and was released on bail in July.
