Prosecutors launched an investigation Wednesday into allegations that a son of a major South Korean conglomerate head attacked lawyers while he was drunk at a private dinner two months ago, the Seoul office said the same day.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office said it has assigned the case to a criminal investigation unit, after reviewing the complaint filed by the Korean Bar Association a day earlier.
Kim Dong-seon, the third and youngest son of Hanwha Group Chairman Kim Seung-youn, is suspected of physically and verbally assaulting some associate lawyers from a top law firm while he was intoxicated at a social dinner in September.
