Fund manager at Korea Investment Management Jung Sang-jin points out that this latest development is going to have an impact on the stock at least in the short term but only because of the negative sentiment associated with the arrest of Lee Jae-yong. It's not because of any fundamental shift in the health of Samsung's business.
It's unclear right now for how long Lee Jae-yong will be under custody. The procedural steps and appeals in the course of a trial and verdict can take as long as 18 months so there's every possibility that he might be out of the office for a very, very long time.
