Arrest warrant sought for Samsung chief After Failed First Attempt

South Korean special prosecutor's office is seeking an arrest warrant for Samsung Group leader Jay Y. Lee as part of its investigation into a graft scandal that could topple President Park Geun-hye.
The special prosecution said it would also seek an arrest warrants for Samsung Electronics Co Ltd President Park Sang-jin.
It did not elaborate or say what charges it planned to bring against the two executives.
This is the second attempt by prosecutors to arrest Lee, the heir to the Samsung Group. Last month, a court said there was not enough evidence to justify his arrest at that point.
Lee has denied allegations that he bribed the president and her long-time friend to win government backing for a controversial merger.
