Remember the SSRT Corruption Scandal down in Osan? Well here is a update in the S&S on the criminal proceedings:

South Korean court officials postponed a scheduled Friday hearing for a telecommunications executive accused of bribing U.S. military officials in return for a multimillion-dollar Internet service contract.

Officials said the trial was postponed because defense lawyers said they still hadn’t received documents from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service needed to defend their client.

Jeong Gi-hwnan, 40, an executive with Samsung Rental Telecommunications (SSRT), was to appear at 2 p.m. Friday, according to the court. As of late Friday, no date had been set for his next court appearance.

To tell you the truth I’m really not to worked up about this guy getting sent to jail for a long time because afterall he was just conducting business the Korean way which often features bribes, kickbacks, and trips to the salon parlor. Who I am really pissed off at is the leadership that allows this crap to happen by accepting these bribes that ultimately leads to service that screws the soldiers and airman of USFK. The S&S article briefly mentioned that the two contracting officers involved with the bribes remain under investigation. Hopefully they go the way of COL Moran.
