Spokesman for the special prosecutor Lee Kyu-chul told reporters during a briefing, investigators will also decide whether to seek arrest warrants against other Samsung Group executives at the same time as it makes a decision on Lee, named a suspect in an investigation into whether the country's top conglomerate paid bribes to pave the way for a 2015 merger of two affiliates.

"We are considering all factors and will make a determination based on the law and principles," he told reporters.
