The first trial for the close aides of Yoo Byung-eun, the fugitive de facto owner of the sunken Sewol-ho ferry… are about to get underway.
The eight aides will have their first trials at Incheon’s District Court Monday as they have been indicted for embezzlement and breach-of-duty this month.
According to prosecutors and court officials, the first court hearing of a close aide to Yoo,… Song Bin-kook ,… the head of key affiliate Dapanda Company was to be held on June 10th but was postponed as more accused were indicted.
Prosecutors earlier this month indicted 15 crew members tasked with the ship’s navigation, on homicide charges and two close aides to Yoo on corruption charges.
