A tax accountant who was in charge of Park Soo-hong's family corporation, run by Park Soo-hong's brother, testified about the unconventional equity structure and his brother's property as a witness.
On the afternoon of the 25th, the Seoul High Court held the third trial of Park and his wife, Park Soo-hong's brother and Lee, who were indicted on charges of violating the law on the aggravated punishment of certain economic crimes. Park Soo-hong and a tax accountant who took care of the tax affairs of his brother's company attended the trial as witnesses.
On the same day, the tax accountant asked Park about his relationship with his brother when he suspected Park's tax evasion but did not report to the National Tax Service or inform Park Soo-hong, saying, "How can I contact Park Soo-hong, a celebrity who I don't even know his number without fact-checking data?" At that time, Park Soo-hong said he trusted 100% and confirmed it to that extent."
He also knew that his brother Park Soo-hong transferred his stake in the entertainment company Lael and Media Boom to his children"I thought it was great because Park Soo-hong agreed. Even if you think about your family, it is not common to have nieces and nephews in general. He said, "I was surprised that he usually looked like a thick friend and that he even took care of his nieces and nephews because he was a great person."
Mr. A "Because Park Soo-hong's damage is so great " It doesn't make sense in general. He created the company with his own money and was made with his own efforts, but it was not easy to understand that he would give his nephew a stake in the company. Out of the question."
In addition, regarding the real estate of Park Soo-hong's brother and his wife "It was determined that even if they used all the lost income of the salary they took 7 to 3 on their own, they could not acquire their real estate."It can be considered that the entire amount of money that is insufficient out of the total real estate amount was actually used by the entertainment agency corporation that operated such as Laël..." he said, referring to private withdrawals.
Meanwhile, Park Soo-hong's brother and his wife are in a legal battle for stealing about 6.1 billion won, including Park's appearance fee, from 2011 to 2021 when they were in charge of Park's management and running an entertainment agency. In February, his brother Park was sentenced to two years in prison for embezzlement and other charges under the Specific Economic Crimes Weighted Punishment Act, and his brother-in-law Lee was acquitted and appealed.
