South Korea’s prime minister said on Wednesday he would recommend to the president a pardon for Jay Y. Lee, vice chairman of the world’s biggest memory chip maker, Samsung Electronics (005930.KS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee, heir to the world’s second-largest contract chip maker, was convicted of bribery and embezzlement in January last year but got parole in August, after serving 18 months of a sentence of 30 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to a question in parliament whether he would recommend that President Yoon Suk-yeol review pardons for key business leaders, including Lee, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said he would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
