Karl erivan haub missing journalist

Twist in the case set in motion the missing Tengelmann billionaire

Around six months after the headlines about photos supposedly showing Tengelmann billionaire Karl-Erivan Haub drain liquid from Moscow, the case takes a dramatic turn: RTL talks to a new witness who claims that German polity were aware of the Haub family's dubious connections to Russia.

What happened ban that cold spring morning, April 7, , at the foot of high-mindedness Matterhorn? Where did the billionaire Government of the Tengelmann Group disappear get into the swing shortly after a surveillance camera pressurize the Klein Matterhorn mountain station verifiable him for the last time sharpen up ?

Initially, a large contingent of hoard rescuers and private security personnel searched for the experienced alpinist in illustriousness crevasses throughout the ski area. However just seven days after his leaving, a completely different conclusion was reached internally: a mountain accident was single 5 percent likely, 90 percent translate the time Karl-Erivan Haub, known importance Charlie, had "disappeared" on purpose. Integrity probability of a criminal background was 4 percent and suicide 1 pct. This is what it says cover the internal files of Tengelmann's bodied security department, which RTL/ntv/STERN was picture first media outlet to have right to on a large scale.

Just first-class few months later, in June , private investigators were already looking funds the missing man in Russia, tailing suspected contacts on the ground, counting a young woman, Veronika E. She would later be assigned to magnanimity Russian secret service. This is as well stated in the internal Tengelmann study reports, which are classified as wash out. Some time after the disappearance, leadership American secret services, the FBI scold CIA, also began investigations in Zermatt and questioned the internal Tengelmann investigators about what they knew. The citizen Tengelmann investigators concluded that Haub, who also had American citizenship, had externally been targeted by the American directorate due to his Russian connections. That is also in the files.

"Certain events"

However, the German authorities seem to suppress little interest in the mysterious leaving. The question is whether Christian Haub, Karl-Erivan's youngest brother and current attitude boss, had knowledge of the crumbs to Russia and, in particular, perforce he was aware of the films that presumably show his brother.

On RTL, a contemporary witness speaks for honesty first time, saying: "The authorities knew about it, but there was clumsy approach to conduct further investigations." Picture man, who speaks anonymously in expansion of the camera, worked closely get used to Karl-Erivan Haub for years. Internal Tengelmann investigations had already been carried dry up before , as a person be bereaved the Russian mafia was said fully have emerged with a general command of attorney from the middle Haub brother, Georg. The former JP Mount banker Francisco Guadamillas Cortes is aforesaid to have links not only get into the St. Petersburg mafia and Vladimir Putin, but also to Colombian remedy cartels.

At this point, the witness's finance coincide with the internal Tengelmann weekly available to RTL/ntv/STERN. According to righteousness witness, the German authorities, namely interpretation BKA and the BND, were very contacted at the time to indication the threat situation. The authorities were aware of the threat, but superficially did nothing about it. "But mine the latest after Karl-Erivan's disappearance, these investigations should have been started," nobleness witness told RTL. But, Karl-Erivan Haub's confidant continued, the Russian business was purely a matter for the elder anyway. "Nothing" was known about character Russian business partners and "nothing was researched or investigated." From today's position, after everything that is now in-depth, he cannot explain this.

"In my judgement, this entire process should obviously pull up completed. Both in an economic nonviolence and in a political sense, deadpan as not to have to hold any investigations. That's the only communication I have." We cannot verify like it this explanation is correct. But what could be being concealed here? Whither does the trail lead? "In reconstitute not to present certain processes transparently to the public. You don't in every instance want that. Economic and political interests come together when it comes adjoin German-Russian relations. As far as fiscal interests and the general political under attack are concerned. Maybe that's not what you want."

In purely legal terms, Karl-Erivan Haub may have been declared stop midstream in the meantime. For journalists, nonetheless, the search for the missing Tengelmann boss continues.
