When he arrived at the Seoul Central District Court to be questioned, more than 20 victims of the Pusan Saving Bank case, who had been waiting for him, leaped upon him, taking him by the scruff of his neck in demand of money.

They threw eggs and poured water on him, giving vent to the grudge at him.

Much scared by this, Lee Sang Duk hurriedly entered the court. After the questioning was over, he was compelled to go outside in secret through another door.

CBS said, "Lee Sang Duk, called senior minister who exercised tremendous influence in the Lee Myung Bak regime, must have had the hardest time in his life."

Meanwhile, he was put in custody by the prosecution on charge of swindling money.
