South Korean prosecutors charged two senior officials of Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. with paying a group of men to kidnap a labor organizer. Choi Jae Dong, 47, managing director, and Kang Myung Ku, 42, general manager, were accused in last month’s abduction of Suh Jung Ui, 34, who was released unharmed six days later.
