Samsung Allegedly "Trailing" CJ Chairman

CJ Group filed a formal complaint with the police against an employee of Samsung C&T Corp., a construction and trade unit of the country's biggest chaebol group Thursday afternoon after putting out a scathing press release. CJ Group said a 42-year-old man working for Samsung C&T is suspected of following its chairman Lee Jay-hyun since late last week.

"We expressed deep regret over the trailing incident, and surveillance should not be tolerated under any circumstances in a free society," CJ Group said in a statement. "Furthermore, it is hard to understand why Samsung, a top-ranked global firm, has committed this act."

The conflict came as a shock not least because CJ Group is not a stranger to Samsung Group. The two conglomerates share a corporate history that goes back to Lee Byung-chull, who founded the towering chaebol.

CJ Group demanded a formal apology from Samsung, which denied any wrongdoing and stressed the incident stemmed from a misunderstanding.
