Samsung Accused of Copying iPhone Design
Former Samsung executive Kim Yongchul is facing scrutiny over bribery allegations. He had previously received a presidential pardon. The pardon was granted in March, and he has now resumed his role as chairman. He is reportedly in his 80s and was accused by lawyer Kim Yong-chul of secret dealings. An investigation into KH Lee's finances has brought unwanted attention to Samsung and the Lee family. Explosive claims revealed billions of dollars hidden in Samsung's stock accounts. Lee had inherited money from his father. A lawsuit has been filed against Samsung Chairman K.H. Lee secretly acquired shares in key Samsung companies after their father's passing. The inheritance includes shares in Samsung Electronics. Samsung is accused of slavishly copying the design of Apple's iPhone and iPad in its Galaxy range of mobile phones and tablets.
