South Korean prosecutors are seeking a 12-year prison sentence for Samsung’s billionaire heir Lee Jae-yong, fuelling analysts’ doubts about whether Mr Lee should have anything more to do with management of the group.
韩国检方正寻求对三星(Samsung)亿万富豪继承人李在镕(Lee Jae-yong)判处12年徒刑，令分析师怀疑李在镕是否还应与该集团管理有任何关系。
The prosecutors’ recommendation came on the last day of the four-month-long trial revolving around a corruption scandal that led to the impeachment of president Park Geun-hye and Mr Lee’s indictment for bribery, embezzlement and other offences. Mr Lee was in tears on Monday, denying the charges.
韩国检方是在围绕一桩腐败丑闻的四个月审理期的最后一天提出上述建议的，这一丑闻导致韩国总统朴槿惠(Park Geun-hye)被弹劾，以及李在镕因贿赂、贪污以及其他罪行被起诉。周一，李在镕流着泪否认了上述指控。
Prosecutors are also seeking seven to 10-year jail sentences for four other senior executives of Samsung, who resigned after being embroiled in the scandal. They say that Samsung offered $38m in bribes to Ms Park and her confidante to secure government help in strengthening Mr Lee’s control over the country’s largest family-run conglomerate.
检察官们还要求对三星另外4名高管判处7至10年徒刑，他们在卷入这起丑闻后随即辞职。他们表示三星公司向朴槿惠及其闺蜜提供了3800万美元贿赂，以确保政府帮助巩固李在镕对这家韩国最大家族企业集团的控制权。
“This is a corruption crime stemming from the typical close ties between government and business, which has undermined the country’s constitutional value,” prosecutors said at the final hearing on Monday.
韩国检方于周一在最后一次听证会上表示：“这是一起源自于政府与商业之间典型密切联系的腐败犯罪行为，它破坏了本国的宪法价值。”
The Seoul Central District Court said it will deliver a verdict on Lee Jae-yong on August 25. Mr Lee has been detained since February.
首尔中央区法院(Seoul Central District Court)表示将于8月25日对李在镕作出裁决。李在镕自二月起被关押。
Analysts said it would not be easy for the 48-year-old heir to retain his post as the company’s vice-chairman and board member, should he be convicted.
分析师们表示，这位48岁的继承人如果被定罪，恐怕很难保留其三星副会长和董事会成员的职位。
