Controversial Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee has survived an assault on his control over the family-run chaebol. Lee's older brother Maeng-hee had led a group of relatives in legal action against the chairman, asserting that they had a right to stakes in Samsung Group worth a total of 4.1 trillion won, or $3.74 billion. Reuters reports, however, that a Seoul Central District Court judge took Lee Kun-hee's side in the dispute, allowing him to retain his shares. A lawyer for the plaintiffs said "This is a totally unexpected ruling and we'll decide whether to appeal after discussing with our clients."
