Ex-LG Electronics engineer charged with technology theft for China

SEOUL (Thomson Financial) - Prosecutors have arrested a former senior engineer with South Korea's LG Electronics Inc for stealing and leaking flat-screen TV technology to China, officials said Thursday. The Seoul southern district prosecutors' office said it had charged the former LG employee identified only as Jeong with stealing technology to manufacture plasma display panels (PDP). After leaving LG Electronics in 2005, Jeong smuggled out computer files on the design of its PDP plant. Jeong later moved to a firm in China, which was preparing to produce such panels, the prosecutor's office said. "His act clearly constitutes theft," prosecutor Jang Sang-Ki, who is handling the case, told Agence France-Presse. Jeong could also face a charge of leaking technology, he said.
