Seoul, Feb 7 || Harold Rogers, interim CEO of Coupang, returned early on Saturday after a 14-hour police questioning over allegations he committed perjury while testifying before the South Korean parliament in December.
Rogers is accused of lying under oath during a parliamentary hearing from Dec. 30-31 on Coupang's massive data breach that has affected more than 33 million customers in South Korea, reports news agency.
He told lawmakers that Coupang conducted its own probe into a Chinese national suspected of involvement in the data breach and confiscated his laptop at the instructions of the National Intelligence Service, South Korea's spy agency.
Police were expected to interrogate Rogers about the allegations.
Appearing from the Seoul police investigative headquarters in Mapo at 3:25 a.m., Rogers left without answering questions from reporters.
Rogers has been questioned twice in a week as police hone in on the data breach case belatedly disclosed by the U.S.-listed e-commerce giant in November.
