[THE INVESTOR] Prosecutors were set to question an executive of Samsung Electronics’ after-service affiliate on May 8 over allegations that his company carried out an organized scheme to disrupt labor union activities.

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office will interrogate Choi Pyeong-seok, a senior executive at Samsung Electronics Service, at 10 a.m., the office said.

Prosecutors are expected to probe him over his suspected influential role in sabotaging the establishment of the labor union under the company’s so-called master plan to block any moves toward the forming of a labor union and to prevent its activities.

Prosecutors have been questioning company officials to find out if the alleged sabotage by the Samsung affiliate were handled by those in higher positions in the tech giant, possibly including Samsung’s leadership or the group’s now-disbanded control tower.
