LOS ANGELES—A former auto manufacturing company manager from Irvine was arrested on March 24 on a federal charge alleging he solicited a $5 million bribe from a South Korean firm with promises of delivering a large contract for various car parts.
Hyoung Nam So, 46, also known as Brian So, surrendered to federal authorities after a grand jury on March 23 charged him with bribery conspiracy. So is expected to be arraigned on the one-count indictment on March 24 afternoon in Los Angeles federal court.
