ThyssenKrupp ex employees probed over suspicious payments
Reuters reported that prosecutors are probing former employees of German steel group ThyssenKrupp over alleged fraud connected to suspicious payments in Eastern Europe
ThyssenKrupp called in the prosecutors after a tip off from an employee led to the discovery of irregularities and potential fraud at the eastern European operations of subsidiary GfT Bautechnik.
ThyssenKrupp, without specifying how many people were involved, said “That led to employees being dismissed, ThyssenKrupp.”
German paper Handelsblatt reported the fraud involved false invoices and unjustified commissions adding up to more than EUR 10 million euros, with payments made in connection to projects from ThyssenKrupp in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and China.
