　　该案件与导致韩国总统朴槿惠被弹劾的丑闻有关。

　　Prosecutors³ accused Mr Lee of giving bribes⁴ worth 41bn won ($36m/29m pounds) to President Park and her close friend Choi Soon-sil to win government support for a smooth leadership transition within Samsung.

　　韩国检方指控李在镕向总统朴槿惠及其密友崔顺实支付了价值410亿韩元（约合3600万美元；2900万英镑）的贿赂，从而获得政府支持三星内部领导权的平稳过渡。

　　"We will do our best to ensure that the truth is revealed in future court proceedings," the Samsung Group said in a brief statement following Mr Lee's arrest.

　　在李在镕被捕之后，三星集团在一份简短声明中表示：“我们将尽最大努力确保在未来法庭审理中揭露事情的真相。”

　　The Samsung chief had already been questioned with several other company executives in January but a subsequent court ruling decided⁵ there was insufficient⁶ grounds for an arrest.

　　这位三星掌门人和其他几家公司的高管已经在1月接受了问询，但是随后法庭裁决没有充分的理由对其进行逮捕。

　　But last Friday, a court spokesman said in a statement: "It is acknowledged that it is necessary to arrest Lee Jae-Yong in light of a newly added criminal charge and new evidence."

　　不过就在上周五，一位法庭发言人在声明中表示：“根据一份新增加的刑事指控和新证据，我们有必要逮捕李在镕。”
