But given the state of the investigation, even with such allegations one should be careful, writes Deutsche Welle . "A whistleblower from VW found dead in a vehicle?" - that headline in Bosnia and Herzegovina's Dnevni Avaz ends with a questionnaire, just like the headline in the new issue of Der Spiegel "Espionage, blackmail - and one death?". The German tabloid Bild, on the other hand, already claims: "A man from VW was found dead in a car". In this already truly incredible development of the Volkswagen Group's dispute with its supplier, the Prevent Group, there are still many questions that are yet to be answered. Last Monday, Helmstedt County firefighters rushed to put out an open fire that threatened to engulf the surrounding fields in this summer heat. But they discovered that the center of the fire was the crematorium of a personal vehicle in which was the dead body of a man who could no longer be identified. The police determined that it was a vehicle owned by CM , now a former employee of the Volkswagen concern. Police are already investigating the fire in which his house burned to the ground this May, but he is also under investigation for stealing confidential files of the VW concern. But only at the end of this week is the confirmation of his identity expected by analyzing a genetic sample and comparing the records of his dentist, reports the Wolfsburger Blatt newspaper at the end of last week. News agencies are also publishing the latest autopsy report of the dead body, in which "no foreign cause" of the death has been discovered. Translated from the forensic language, this still does not mean with complete certainty that it was not a murder, but there are no traces on the burned corpse. Just a few days after VW's confidential files were released The discovery of the dead body happened just a week after the German portal "Business Insider" published a comprehensive report on 35 meetings of the Volkswagen management between January 2017 and February 2018, where they discussed how to end cooperation with the Prevent group. The basis of the article was a whole host of confidential documents - Volkswagen is known to document everything carefully and put it on paper - and fifty hours of recordings of those meetings. The Volkswagen Group was, of course, shocked by this discovery, but since these materials could only be obtained by a total of thirty associates, it did not take long for it to be discovered that it was just CM. theft and disclosure of confidential information. image Herbert Diess (left) Kyodo / MAXPPP / MAXPPP / Profimedia According to all this, and although many mosaic stones are still missing, Der Spiegel is certainly right when it writes that "it is worth investigating, because behind it can be hidden a crime story that the German economy has rarely experienced in postwar history." The weekly also summarizes Volkswagen's long dispute with Prevent: "The audio recordings first document the extent to which the relationship between Volkswagen and the Prevent supplier has been deeply disrupted. for example, they talk about ‘starving’ supplier companies and the associated risk that they could escape under the roof of Prevent.in order to put pressure on Prevent from Russia. Schröder should therefore use his ties with Russian President Putin , "Der Spiegel writes. An allusion to a truly outrageous crime Der Spiegel has no evidence that Schröder was indeed called in to help, but it is no secret that he is closely associated with the Volkswagen Group: the former chancellor comes from the province of Lower Saxony and was also a member of the VW Supervisory Board as prime minister. given that the concern is still partly state-owned. And without this being clearly written in the German newspaper, of course there is an allusion to the already seen practice of liquidating the Kremlin's undesirable persons abroad. And that would really be something unheard of for a German concern. It is not said that German companies have never and nowhere dealt with criminals and organized crime. But still assuming the dead body is CM - what would anyone from Volkswagen benefit from his liquidation now? image Gerhard Schröder The lawsuit between Volkswagen and Prevent is still ongoing and there are many hundreds of millions of euros in possible damages: this February, the Higher Provincial Court in Düsseldorf ruled that Prevent was trying to blackmail higher prices for its parts and that it was justified for Volkswagen to cancel , even if such cancellation was not provided for in the contract at all. Given that Volkswagen had to suspend production due to the suspension of parts delivery, this is a possible huge compensation that VW could claim. But the same court ruled that part of the group, the manufacturer Audi, had no right to terminate its cooperation with companies owned by the Prevent group and that Prevent had the right to seek compensation from Volkswagen. On top of all that, Prevent is suing Volkswagen in the United States: there he is seeking $ 750 million in damages from the German concern for violating the rules of market competition. In this lawsuit, these recently published documents of the management of the Volkswagen Group are also important because they prove that he tried to prevent other, smaller suppliers from "escaping" under the roof of Prevent. But even here there is no logic that this German concern would be ready to resort to the worst crime: although the Volkswagen concern expressed outrage over the published confidential management files, he never clearly said that this information was inaccurate. And those writings are already there - and some kind of murder is useless. How did we "know nothing"? No less puzzling is the reaction of the Prevent group to the publication of these documents in "Business Insider" at the end of July: Prevent "clearly rejects" the suspicion that he participated in the recording of meetings of the Volkswagen management and claims that "there is no knowledge" of published confidential documents. But he adds that they prove the group's hypocritical behavior towards suppliers. According to some details, this claim may seem strange: the legal adviser of the Hastor family , the law firm Bub, Gauweiler and partners will complain to the President of the Province of Lower Saxony Stephan Weil in 2018.on Volkswagen’s relationship to the Prevent Group. But the letter states exactly the secret name of the Volkswagen Group's plan to end cooperation with Prevent and mentions the presentation of such a plan at one of the management meetings - that is exactly what has just been published. image Volkswagen factory Hendrik Schmidt Therefore, it is unlikely that these secret documents first appeared outside the locked drawers in the Volkswagen administration only two years after they were published on "Business Insider" and that this is not really a "whisperer" but rather it could be said - about informant. Because then who set fire to CM’s house two months earlier than it was announced? Why? Is it Nijaz Hastor?or some other person in the Prevent group wanted to “break the chain” of actually committing the crime of stealing confidential documents and silencing the person who recorded those meetings? Nijaz Hastor actually became what it is now, primarily thanks to the help from Volkswagen in the process of privatization of the once joint company VW with the Bosnian Unis, the company TAS - Tvornica automobila Sarajevo. But even though he is known in his native BiH as a philanthropist, in the companies he takes over around the world, he only has his business interests in mind. And they have long since turned into a real campaign against the Volkswagen Group. But is there any evidence that he was willing to cross the line of criminal law there? Many more questions Nor does it seem particularly logical: the death of this person in the car should certainly be clarified first. That in that death, as the first autopsy says, "there is no foreign influence" can be suspected, but also due to the fact that no one has heard of a case where someone died of a heart attack, then got out of the car in which it happened , lit it and then sat down in it again. But if the murder may have been committed professionally, the circumstances are not: it may have been in someone's interest for CM to disappear without a trace, but setting a car on fire in the middle of summer even on a secluded road meant a dozen fire trucks arrived in a few minutes. And the discovered body has just aroused the interest of the police, the state attorney's office - and the media. Both for Volkswagen and Prevent. Because there will be a lot of talk about that battle in any case - but now not only in the Economy section, but also in the Black Chronicle, writes
