Samsung Group leader and founding family heir Jay Y. Lee said on Tuesday he will accept all personal responsibility stemming from the current influence-peddling scandal that threatens President Park Geun-hye.
"I will take all responsibility related to the current situation, legal or ethical, if there are any," said the 48-year-old executive during a parliament hearing.
