Samsung Group said Friday it will do its best to ensure that the truth is revealed in future court proceedings.

The conglomerate made the remarks after its de facto leader Lee Jae-yong was arrested over his alleged role in a political corruption scandal that led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye.
