Criminal Investigation Intensifies Family Dispute at Evergreen Marine

Taiwanese authorities have launched a criminal investigation into Evergreen Marine, marking a significant escalation in a decade-long power struggle within the founding family of Taiwan's shipping dynasty. Prosecutors dispatched investigators to 10 locations on July 6, including offices of Evergreen Marine and affiliate Evergreen International Corporation. The raids signal that the private dispute between the Chang brothers has now become a matter of criminal concern, arriving at a particularly difficult moment for the container carrier. The investigation represents the first time the long-simmering family feud has entered formal legal proceedings at the prosecutorial level.
