The CEO of South Korean cryptocurrency platform Haru Invest, identified only as Lee, was attacked and injured during a court appearance in Seoul. Lee was in court facing charges of embezzling over 1.4 trillion won ($1 billion) from investors by mismanaging funds and halting withdrawals. The attack took place when a 50-year-old man, identified only as A, lunged at Lee with a weapon, injuring him in the neck. Lee was transported to a hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. The suspect, A, was arrested for attempted murder and is currently under investigation. Police are examining the motives behind the attack and investigating if A managed to bypass security measures before entering the courtroom. The incident has raised concerns about the security of courtrooms and the need for enhanced protection for individuals involved in legal proceedings, particularly those facing high-profile accusations.
