Seoul (The Korea Herald/ANN) - Samsung Electronics chairman Lee Kun-hee said Wednesday he will no longer get involved in the inheritance suit with his siblings, apologizing for publicly expressing his anger on the case.

While meeting reporters at Gimpo International Airport before leaving for Europe, Lee said, "I will leave the suit up to the legal professionals and only focus on nurturing Samsung Group."

Lee's comments come after he fiercely criticized his elder brother Maeng-hee and sister Sook-hee for filing inheritance suits against him earlier. The two, among some others, said they did not receive their portions of stocks which formerly belonged to their father and Samsung founder Lee Byung-chull.
