China Evergrande's EV unit says vice chairman detained, stock plunges

 China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group said on Monday an executive director Liu Yongzhuo, who is the firm's vice chairman, has been detained, sending the stock tumbling as much as 23% in resumed trade.

The electric vehicle arm of the embattled property developer China Evergrande Group said Liu has been detained on suspicion of "illegal crimes" but did not elaborate further.

The shares, which were suspended from trading in the morning session pending the statement, fell to as low as HK$0.32 but have since regained ground and was last down 1.2%.

The stock plunged 18.6% in the first week of 2024 after it said last Monday that plans for it to sell shares to U.S.-listed NWTN had been scrapped.

Hui Ka Yan, chairman and founder of parent Evergrande Group, the most indebted property developer in the world, has also been under investigation for suspected crimes, according to a filing in late September.
