서울중앙지검은 8일,‘횡령, 배임’ 의혹을 받고 있는 강덕수 (64) 전 STX 회장에 대해 사전구속영장을 청구했다고 밝혔다.

강 전 회장은 STX중공업 및 그룹 계열사의 수천억원대에 이르는 분식회계와 업무 상 횡령•배임 등을 주도한 혐의를 받고 있다.

검찰은 같은 혐의로 STX 중공업 전 경영진 3명에 대해서도 함께 구속영장을 청구했다.

강 회장은 지난 4일과 6일 두 차례에 걸쳐 검찰로부터 강도높은 조사를 받은 바 있다.

검찰은 지난 2월 강 전 회장을 비롯한 전 경영진 5명의 배임과 횡령 혐의에 대해 STX 측의 수사 의뢰를 받고서 ㈜STX•STX조선해양•팬오션 등 그룹 계열사 6∼7 곳을 압수수색하면서 본격 수사에 착수했다. 검찰에 따르면 강 전 회장의 횡령•배임 액수만 3천억원에 육박하며 분식회계 규모는 이를 뛰어넘는 것으로 알려졌다.

Prosecutors seek arrest warrant for ex-STX chief

The Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office on Tuesday sought an arrest warrant for Kang Duk-soo, former head of shipping and shipbuilding conglomerate STX Group, on suspicion of embezzlement and business malpractice.

Kang, 64, is believed to have funneled the funds of STX’s financially troubled shipbuilding unit to illegally support other ailing affiliates during his tenure as the group’s chief between 2003 and February 2014.

He also allegedly used the company funds to bribe politicians.

Kang had been grilled by the prosecutors on Friday and Sunday over his charges.

Prosecutors have also sought arrest warrants for three other former high-level executives under the same charges.

Prosecutors launched an investigation into Kang in February after the company filed a complaint against him and four other former executives.

Once among the country’s largest conglomerates, STX Group’s flagship affiliates have struggled amid a downturn in the shipping and shipbuilding sectors.
