the position of 'yet'
StartFragment>
The Administrative Committee of Changbai Mountain demolished the hotel that this investor had managed.
It was a sudden withdrawal made when the result of the investor's formal objection had not been yet published.
(1)Is the location of 'yet' right?
(2)And how about the usage of 'withdrawal' in the second sentence for replacement of 'demolish' in the first sentence?
(3)I'll appreciate any other correction to my sentences.

The investor was a manager of a hotel himself. And the Administrative Committee removed the hotel the investor had managed.
The investor raised a formal objection against the removal but the removal was conducted before the result of the formal objection is published.
This is the story.
Thanks for your reply.

Then 'withdrawal' works in neither sentence. Try these:
The Administrative Committee of Changbai Mountain demolished the hotel that this investor had managed.
It was a sudden demolition, accomplished before the ruling on the investor's formal objection had been published.
