Lone Star FundsÂ 1.4 trillion won ($1.5 billion) purchase of the Korea Exchange Bank in 2003 was illegal, South Korean prosecutors said, setting up a court case that may cause the sale to be annulled. A former finance ministry official, Byeon Yang-ho, took bribes and conspired with the former president of Korea Exchange, Lee Kang-won, to drive down the sale price by as much as $900 million, the Supreme ProsecutorsÂ Office said. Mr. Byeon denied the accusations. Regulators will determine whether the sale should be voided, said Chae Dong-wook, a prosecutor. Last month Lone Star abandoned the sale of the bank to Kookmin Bank for a profit of about $4 billion because of the investigations. ÂIt is the same old broad conspiracy theory that never made any sense and still is not supported by any hard evidence,Â Lone StarÂs chairman, John Grayken, said in a statement.
