TOKYO -- With South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol impeached over his short-lived martial law decree in December, the legal troubles of Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong are once again casting a shadow over the nation's largest family-owned conglomerate.
Samsung has struggled to roll out a new growth strategy even as Chinese rivals catch up in its key business fields, such as semiconductors and electronics. Its recent woes owe partly to repeated disruptions to management from a bribery scandal tied to former President Park Geun-hye, who was impeached in 2016 and removed from office the following year.
