The chairman of South Korea's biggest conglomerate says he is resigning. Samsung Group chief Lee Kun-hee is stepping down less than a week after his indictment on tax evasion charges.

A team of special prosecutors say Lee evaded about $113 million in taxes. The charges followed a three-month investigation into the conglomerate's finances.

Samsung Group's biggest company is Samsung Electronics, which makes computer chips, flat screen TVs and mobile phones.
