An executive board member of the German technology company Siemens has been arrested as part of a bribery¹ investigation². Johannes Feldmayer is accused of paying €34 million to Wilhelm Schelsky, the former head of the AUB trade union who is now in jail for tax evasion³. Siemens has no record of Schelsky performing any services for them, but AUB was known to be much friendlier about Siemens corporate⁴ decisions than other German trade unions such as IG Metall, the German Metalworkers Union. In a separate investigation, Munich prosecutors⁵ are looking into the disappearance⁶ of €200 million from accounts in Siemens' telecommunications business, because the investigators⁷ feel that the money may have been used as bribes⁸ to win contracts outside of Germany.
