TOKYO -- The sibling rivalry that has plagued the South Korean-Japanese conglomerate Lotte for years erupted again on Friday in a shareholder meeting where the founder's elder son made another attempt to push out his brother.
The dispute complicates plans for a Japanese stock market listing by Lotte Holdings, part of a group that is a household name in both countries, with investments spanning food, retail, hotels, chemicals and construction. It also gives a glimpse into the opaque power struggles at the family-run chaebol corporate groups that are a hotbed of scandals in South Korea
