The FSS sought to reprimand Sohn Tae-seung, but two courts have now ruled in favour of the Woori Financial Group chairman and CEO.
August 4, 2022The court ruled that Hana Financial Group vice chairman Ham Young-joo was responsible for failing to protect retail investors from high risk financial products.
March 18, 2022The FSS is also proposing to force Hana Bank executives and employees involved in DLF mis-selling to pay penalties.
February 1, 2022The appeal will follow a court decision to nullify an FSS decision to ban Woori Financial Group chairman Sohn Tae-seung for three years.
September 21, 2021An FSS decision to ban Woori Financial Group Chairman Son Tae-seung from the financial industry for three years is effectively nullified.
August 31, 2021A Seoul court has granted an injunction against FSS sanctions that would have prevented chairman Sohn Tae-seung from seeking another term at Woori Financial Group.
March 27, 2020The FSC will impose lower penalties than what was recommended by the FSS, citing the two banks’ cooperation and their agreements to compensate clients for damages.
