[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] Park Young-woo, chairman of Dayou Winia Group, who is suspected of overdue wages and severance pay worth 30 billion won, was arrested on the 19th.
Nam In-soo, a judge in charge of warrants at the Seongnam branch of the Suwon District Court, issued an arrest warrant for Park, who is suspected of violating the Labor Standards Act later in the day.
Park is suspected of overdue wages and severance pay of 34.7 billion won for 649 Winia Electronics and Winia workers from January 2021 to September 2023.
The prosecution indicted Park Hyun-chul, CEO of Winia Electronics, on charges of violating the same Labor Standards Act last year, and has expanded its investigation to the upper level after seizing and searching Dayou Winia Group and Park's home.
The prosecution believed that Park was directly involved in company management, including Winia Electronics, and requested an arrest warrant on the 15th after summoning him on the 13th.
