Daewoo's Founder Is Given 10-Year Sentence for Fraud

Daewoo's Founder Is Given 10-Year Sentence for Fraud - New York Times

韓国のDaewoo Group の創立者が、会計不正と横領の罪で有罪となり、１０年の実刑と２１兆４０００億ウオン（２３０億米ドル）の資産没収が課せられるという記事。

判決では、「企業倫理を捨て去り、法律の裏をかき、Daewoo Group を破たんに追いやったのだから厳罰は避けられない。このことは、Daewoo へ貸し付けていた銀行に損害を与え、彼の会社を整理するのに巨額な納税者のカネを使うことにより国民に重荷を負わせた」といっています。

The presiding judge, Hwang Hyun Joo, wrote in his verdict: "A severe punishment is inevitable for Mr. Kim because he abandoned corporate ethics and circumvented the law, pushing Daewoo Group to bankruptcy. This damaged banks that lent money to Daewoo and caused a burden to the people because a tremendous amount of taxpayer money was used to clean up his companies."

直接の容疑は、経理操作と輸出入書類の偽造により９兆８０００億ウオンの借入を行ったことです。

After living six years as a fugitive abroad, Mr. Kim returned in June last year, saying he wanted to make peace and die at home. Prosecutors immediately arrested and indicted him on charges of illegally procuring loans of 9.8 trillion won by manipulating books and forging export-import documents.

その他、海外の口座を通じた２００億ドルの横領と、４１兆ウオンの資産水増しをおこなった粉飾の罪に問われていました。

He was also charged with misallocating $20 billion in Daewoo's money through overseas accounts and helping to falsify the company's books to inflate its assets by about 41 trillion won.
