LG Scion Repatriated After 8 Years on the Run

Koo Bon-hyun, a member of the family that founded LG Group, has been repatriated from Cambodia eight years after leaving Korea to escape an investigation into stock manipulation charges, police said Friday. The 57-year-old was arrested and brought back to Korea on Nov. 13, according to Maeil Business Newspaper and Yonhap. Seoul Metropolitan Police's financial crime unit handled the case, with reports noting he had fled overseas for eight years after taking illegal profits from stock manipulation. Korean media coverage focuses on the arrest itself, with outlets like the Korea Times and Yonhap reporting the repatriation as a straightforward police action.
