Is Karl-Erivan "Charlie" Haub, the vanished Tengelmann CEO, shivering in the Russian cold or huddling in the shadows of Moscow's underbelly? Recent images, analyzed by two independent experts, may suggest the billionaire is alive and kicking in the heart of Mother Russia.
According to the latest scoop from the prestigious Manager Magazin, the Cologne Public Prosecutor’s Office now holds photos of a man dressed in a thick, fur-trimmed winter coat, a hat pulled low over his face, who bears an uncanny resemblance to none other than Charlie Haub. The photos, complete with two biometric reports, indicate a 99% match and an 85% likelihood that the enigmatic figure in the photos is our missing mogul.
Christian Haub: Slow-Cooking His Way to the Top? 🐽
The investigation into the origins of these tantalizingly incriminating images centers around Christian Haub, the youngest brother of the vanished business tycoon, and the current CEO of Tengelmann. In 2021, Christian made a sworn statement to an insurer, claiming he had "no verifiable evidence, no actual proof" that his brother could still be alive. But in 2022, Liv von Boetticher, the author of this very article, lodged a criminal complaint accusing Christian of making a false statement. Imagine that, huh?
So, here's the scoop first discovered by those spunky sleuths at RTL: an anonymous whistleblower tipped off the media group about a series of surveillance photos that allegedly show Charlie Haub. RTL tracked the grainy images to a set of biometric security cameras in Kolomenskaya Street, Moscow's southern district. One source told RTL the photos were taken on February 19 and 20, 2021, at around 4 pm, showing a man in a fur-trimmed coat and a close-fitting blue hat.

Christian Haub, it seems, had his own reasons for keeping those incriminating photos tucked away: an ongoing inheritance dispute with his sister-in-law, Katrin Haub, and their children. According to certain analysts with long noses and sharp elbows, Christian needed to either legally prove Karl-Erivan was still breathing or convince the family to declare him deceased to gain control of his brother's billion-dollar shares in the Tengelmann conglomerate.
Suffice it to say, the sudden emergence of these photos, if indeed they show Charlie Haub, could open a can of worms big enough to swallow a small country. Time will tell if the Cologne Public Prosecutor's Office believes Christian’s seemingly shifting statements regarding these photos.
Bonus Tidbits:
- The Tengelmann-commissioned security chief hired Interfor International, an Israeli-American company, to search Moscow's biometric data in 2020.
- The Interfor team ran Leonardo Da Vinci-level facial recognition algorithms on the Tengelmann data banks—yielding no results. But something tells us that the mystery man in the Moscow images didn’t stop by a local art supply store for a refresher in the Mona Lisa smile.
- When questioned about the existence of these Moscow photos, Christian Haub's lawyer denied any knowledge of them. However, recent developments suggest otherwise. Stay tuned for updates on this gripping case!
- The Commission has not yet adopted a decision on the application of Article 93 (2) of the Treaty, regarding the potential seizure of billions of dollars from the Tengelmann conglomerate, as thecase regarding the missing billionaire, Karl-Erivan "Charlie" Haub, continues to unfold.
- It is speculated that Christian Haub, the current CEO of Tengelmann and brother of the vanished billionaire, may have withheld the photos of Charlie Haub, allegedly spotted in Moscow in 2021, from the Cologne Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Tengelmann-commissioned security team, as he aimed to maintain control over his brother's billion-dollar shares in the Tengelmann conglomerate.
- If proven authentic, the seized intelligence, including the incriminating photos and biometric reports, could lead to a dramatic shift in the inheritance dispute between Christian Haub and Katrin Haub, Karl-Erivan's sister-in-law, and their children, ultimately impacting the future of the Tengelmann conglomerate.
