One of the heads of the LG was banned from leaving the country for … – Gazeta.pl

Cho Seong-jin, the head of LG responsible for household appliances, was banned from leaving South Korea. Any day is also to be issued a warrant for his arrest. He was accused of vandalizing the position of Samsung washing machines before September IFA 2014 in Berlin – one of the most important events in the electronics industry. This may result in the absence of a prohibition on the next big event – starting in early January at CES in Las Vegas.

Cargo Edison in 2014?

This story is equally absurdly, as intriguing.
