A court in Singapore is preparing to rule on a power struggle at the Castel Group, a family-run French beverage business that has grown to be one of the largest drinks companies in Europe and Africa – and is currently the subject of a dispute between two of the founder's relatives and the CEO, the first person outside the Castel family to run the multibillion-euro business.
The ruling will mark a major development in a clash that became public late last year and centres on who controls the group after the retirement of the company's ageing founder.
