Question about rights issue

I am an employee of a restaurant. Two years ago, another employee and I respectively bought 10% of the restaurant shares resold by the major shareholder. During the employment, the major shareholder and his families had full control over the Company and we only received a monthly statement with unclear financial details.

During a shareholder's meeting we found that the shareholders and shares of the company were changed significantly. The original 500 shares of the company were expanded by 6 times, reaching 3,000 shares, and without our knowledge another two shareholders were added.

The company privately introduced new shareholders with 3000 kr/share, about 2.5 million, accounting for 25% of the total shares. One of the new shareholders who holds 150 shares, accounting for 5% of the total shares. All the other shares are held by the major shareholders (namely, his shares are charged from 480 shares to 2,100 shares). We, the two small shareholders, still hold 50 shares, but our shareholding ratio is decreased from 10% to 1.6%.

The major shareholder said that the company was about to go bankrupt but since the family-owned company of the major shareholder lent the money to the company. The expanded 2,500 shares as well as the capitals of selling new shares were ascribed to them.

For the above problems, did the major shareholder and his family-owned company violate the company law and commit the crime of duty encroachment? Thanks for your explanation!
