"LG confirmed that it had been indicted in South Korea after its Home Appliance Division President Jo Seong-jin allegedly damaged the doors of several Samsung washing machines. The drama has unfolded over a number of months, starting in September when Jo and a number of his LG colleagues attended the IFA Electronics Show in Berlin. The executives allegedly went to two retail stores in Berlin before the trade show began and inspected—or vandalized, if you're Samsung—Samsung's $2,700 washing machines. Samsung alleged that after the LG executives' handling, four of the doors of the front-loading washing machines no longer worked. Samsung complained to German authorities, who declined to take action, and LG offered to pay for the four broken washing machines to resolve the situation. But Samsung would not be swayed and went to South Korean prosecutors. Samsung also alleges that LG executives not only leaned too hard on the washing machine doors but also kicked them.

“The truth will be revealed in the courts,” Ham Yoon-keun, a lawyer for Jo, said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal."
