adminadding he would press on with his case.
Maeng-hee, eldest son of Samsung’s late founder Lee Byung-Chull, described his brother as “greedy”.
Kun-Hee (70) was in February accused by his elder brother and sister of taking over some shares in Samsung Group subsidiaries left by their father.
Maeng-Hee said that after the death of his father in 1987, Kun-Hee took over the shares which the father had held under the names of other people.
He demanded his brother return some shares in Samsung units along with cash, worth 710 billion won (US$623 million) in total. Their sister Lee Sook-Hee followed with a separate suit.
Last week Kun-Hee, the second son, said he would not give “a single dime” to his brother and sister and would fight the lawsuits to the end. He said the inheritance issue was settled long ago while their father was alive and accused his brother and sister of being a “bit greedy”.
