Samsung Group vice-chairmain Lee Jae Yong left the South Korean special prosecutor's office on Friday after more than 22 hours of questioning on bribery suspicions. Lee denied bribery accusations during that hearing, rejecting assertions from lawmakers that Samsung lobbied to get the fund to back the merger.
