Kim Woo Choong fled South Korea after his business empire collapsed with debts of more than $70 billion. He's accused of fraud and embezzlement. Kim Woo Choong arrived on an early morning flight from Vietnam and was immediately arrested by law officers. He faces a series of embezzlement and fraud charges, including the illegal transfer of $20 billion overseas. He also faces more than 40 civil suits. He was surrounded at the airport by reporters and protesters, some of whom lost millions when the Daewoo business group collapsed. Kim Woo Choong fled abroad shortly afterwards and is reported to have spent most of his time in France. How much debt did the Daewoo business group collapse with in 1999? 选项表明,本题可能考查某项投资的数额。针对数字题,听音时应注意捕捉数字信息并做相应记录。新闻开头提到,创立了大宇实业集团的韩国商人回国后被逮捕,接着提到金宇中在其商业帝国的债务超过700亿美元之时逃离了韩国,故答案为D。 根据选项中重复出现的数字以及其中的illegal fund-raising/transfer,fraud和embezzlement可推测,该新闻可能与钱财方面的违法行为有关,可能涉及违法数额。
