 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - Police questioned one of South Korea's richest men Sunday following media reports that he and his bodyguards abducted and beat eight people after his son was hurt in a scuffle with bar employees.
Kim Seung-youn, chairman and CEO of the Hanwha Group, South Korea's ninth-largest business conglomerate, and his bodyguards allegedly seized the men last month and took them to a mountainous area south of Seoul where they were threatened and beaten, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Saturday, quoting unnamed victims and witnesses.
Kim and the bodyguards were armed with steel pipes and shock devices, the paper said.
