And today in South Korea a special counsel is questioning the chairman of the Samsung Group. They are investigating possible corruption at the corporate giant. Here's more on this.

Prosecutors asked Chairman Lee Kun-hee to appear for questioning today. He is answering allegations made by a former Samsung employee... that the company bribed officials to stop investigating questionable management practices.

Demonstrations for and against the chairman were on hand as Lee arrived. Half a dozen members of the Democratic Labor Party are demanding that Lee be jailed during the investigation.

[Kim Jong-man, Democratic Labor Party]:
"There's an argument that the special counselors have been investigating this case just for a face-saving tactic in favor of Samsung. The special counselors should make their position clear and this re-summons
should play a decisive role to find the truth with Samsung matters. This is what I am thinking now."

The Samsung employee alleges more than $200 million U.S. dollars were kept for bribing officials.

The company has called the accusations groundless.
