Broadcaster Park Soo-hong, who had a legal battle with his older brother, found it difficult to stand in front of the camera.

“Nobody can live alone. I really believed it. When I opened the lid… I thought I was going to die.”

In April last year, Park Soo-hong announced that he would take legal action against his older brother.

It is said that he set up an agency that only manages his younger brother, and that he has been stealing it for 30 years without sharing the performance fee and the company’s money as promised.

As a result of the investigation for over a year, the story of Park Soo-hong, who said that he had been betrayed by his trusted older brother, turned out to be largely true.

I used 2.9 billion won from my brother’s account, and I won 1.17 billion in company money to buy real estate, such as shopping malls.

As if paying labor costs to a ‘ghost employee’, they stole 1.9 billion earned and used corporate credit cards.

The prosecution only counted crimes during the last 10 years, and the amount of theft was 6.17 billion won.

“It is somewhat disappointing that the data relating to the bank transaction slips and the withdrawals were not all disclosed because the data storage period has expired.”

My father tried to hide his brother by saying, “I spent money” by kicking and attacking Park Soo-hong, whom I met in the Daejil Shimbun, but the prosecution refused, saying, “Your brother’s crime is correct .”

Instead, it was believed that even the brother-in-law had committed the crime, so he put the brothers and sisters side by side in court.

At first, it was suspected that the elder brother and wife would receive the 1.4 billion won insurance money paid by Park Soo-hong, but as a result of the investigation, Park Soo-hong was usually planned to receive the insurance money. .

Aside from the criminal complaint, Park Soo-hong is also pursuing a civil lawsuit demanding compensation of 11.6 billion earned by his older brother.
