- Germany should combat white-collar crime more efficiently — and take a more European approach.
- A look at France shows how this could be done.
Exactly five years ago, on September 30, 2020, the major diesel criminal trial against Audi CEO Stadler and his colleagues began in Munich. Ironically, the trial is still ongoing.
Against this backdrop, when you look at the major corporate scandals of the last 20 years in Germany, four things stand out: First, there are big headlines, followed by sharp criticism of those responsible, which indeed causes serious damage to the reputation of the companies and their brands.
Then endless court proceedings begin, culminating in verdicts that can only be described as disappointing in light of the original headlines — if verdicts are handed down at all.
