Samsung owner risk that will continue next year… Is the Compliance Committee Sustainable?
[앵커]
Even if Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong’s trial for Gukjeong Nongdan ends early next year, the trial on succession of management rights will begin anew.
Accordingly, Samsung’s owner risk surrounding Vice Chairman Lee is expected to continue in the new year.

The trial of Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong, who has fought over charges of bribing former President Park Geun-hye, will be finalized in four years at a sentence earlier next year.
However, even if the ruling for the destruction of Gukjeong Nongdan reaches its conclusion, a new trial will begin next year.
The suspicion of illegal succession of management rights will have to be tried again from the first trial in February of next year, which is expected to continue to act as uncertainty in the management behavior of Vice Chairman Lee.
Vice-Chairman Lee has attended 7 trials in two months since the death of former Chairman Lee Kun-hee in late October.
At the same time as the trial, it is necessary to maintain corporate dominance by solving the homework of the 11 trillion won inheritance tax for shares, and to foster new businesses such as system semiconductors, AI, and 5G mobile communications.
At the moment, attention is being paid to the Samsung Compliance Committee, which will affect the sentence for remand and revocation of destruction.
In the past 10 months after installation, the focus on sustainability is amid conflicting opinions that the limits are clear and that it is effective.
The business community is giving a positive interpretation.
“Since the evaluation of him from the outside is being watched with a strict perspective, it is inevitable that Samsung will have no choice but to equip it with a behavior that can actually work…”
However, there are still voices of criticism about the show organization.
“It’s still a lawsuit for damages to victims, so I think it’s impossible to see Lee Jae-yong by imposing illegal sanctions and putting up a legal compliance committee only with words.”
In addition, there is a view that the prolonged criminal trial itself against the total number of companies is a problem, apart from the results of the trial.
