Numerous felt claims
Since the end of June, the 61-year-old has been exposed to numerous accusations of nepotism and nepotism, mainly through complaints from the online medium “Business Insider”. She has been president of ARD since the beginning of the year and director of RBB since 2016. She has resigned from both positions.
The head of the board of directors is also affected
At the center of the scandal is the sacked director and the head of the RBB board of directors Wolf-Dieter Wolf. Both rejected the charges. Among other things, it concerns controversial consulting contracts for an RBB construction project, over agreements between the two on salary and bonuses for Schlesinger. And about jobs for her husband and former “Spiegel” journalist Gerhard Spörl at the Berlin Exhibition Center – where Wolf was also chief supervisor until recently.
Public Prosecutor’s Investigations
The Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the three for breach of trust and acceptance of benefits. It is the presumption of innocence. An external investigation at a law firm is also ongoing. No results available yet.
