South Korean prosecutors have started investigating allegations that ailing Samsung Group chairman Lee Kun-hee bought sex from prostitutes several times between 2011 and 2013. 

An official from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office said Wednesday (July 27) the case is being
handled by a division specialising in crimes against women and children. He refused to be named, citing office rules.

The allegations were raised last week after internet news outlet Newstapa released footage purportedly showing a man who appeared to be Lee interacting with women who might have been prostitutes on several occasions.
Samsung says it has no comment.
Selling or buying sex is a crime punishable by up to a year in prison or a fine of 3 million won ($3,589) in South Korea.

Samsung will unveil its next major smartphone, called the Galaxy Note 7, at an event on August 2, the company announced on Tuesday.

The South Korean tech giant didn’t reveal any other details about the device, but the event invitation includes a silhouette of Samsung’s S Pen stylus, which has been a significant part of the Note lineup since it debuted.

The Note 7 will be the successor to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5. (Samsung says it decided to skip the “6” to align its Note brand more closely with its roster of popular Galaxy S phones.)

The announcement comes after Evan Blass, a tech blogger who has correctly leaked information about unreleased smartphones in the past, reported that Samsung’s next large-screened phone would be called the Note 7, reports Time.com.

Samsung’s Note phones typically have larger screens than its Galaxy S devices. They also come with Samsung’s stylus, which lets users do things like jot down notes even when the screen is turned off and access shortcuts. This year’s model is said to come with an iris scanner, according to Blass.
