A South Korean court is set to decide on Friday if Samsung de-facto chief Jay Y. Lee is guilty of corruption.

Lee was accused by a special prosecutor’s office of bribing a close friend of former President Park Geun-hye to gain government favors.

The 49-year-old scion of the Lee family was detained in February.

Lee has the option of filing for an appeal.
