 "S Korean PM backs early return to work for paroled Samsung leader: Report")
(Reuters) - South Korean Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum told the Financial Times that he backed calls for Samsung leader Lee Jae-yong to return to managing the global tech firm weeks after being released from prison.
"We should follow legal procedures if they are needed (for his return to management) but it is not an appropriate option to ban his activities when he has already been released (from jail)," Kim told the newspaper in remarks published on Tuesday.
The Samsung Electronics vice chairman, convicted of bribery and embezzlement, walked out of prison on parole earlier in August.
