Pegatron Corp., spun off from Asustek Computer Inc., said it suspended the head of a Chinese unit after an Apple Inc. employee was charged with accepting payments from the subsidiary for confidential information.
“She believed that she had paid the money for commercial purposes and not for kickbacks,” Jonathan Chang, finance director at Pegatron, which bought Kaedar Electronics (Kunshan) Co. in 2008, said by phone today. The employee is the most senior manager at Kaedar, Chang said without disclosing her name.
