In January 2007 and the following months, the media reported massive allegations of corruption and the creation of slush funds within a German corporation. Greedy managers have embezzled hundreds of millions, but the public seems to lose interest over time as new fragments of the scandal emerge. The corporation's oversight bodies are entangled in the illegal trade. By paying enormous fines worth millions, the corporation manages to extricate itself from the noose. The story of this book goes far beyond the publicly known truth. Added passages reveal a deep abyss of criminal activity. The illegally obtained funds are beyond any control and form the foundation of a corrupt system for securing contracts. But only one person knows this system and where the millions are hoarded. They are individuals with weaknesses and inclinations who succumb to the lure of money. The story exposes the dubious and convoluted paths of fundraising and depicts the ruthless dynamics with which criminal subjects seek to grab a piece of the pie. Mistakes are paid for with lives. Journalist Harald Brenner investigates and finds himself in deadly danger. The text contains passages with sexual content that are not suitable for young people.
