Schlesinger facing accountability for bonus payments and media firm expenses, as per RBB's appeal
In a recent development, the Supervisory Board of RBB has filed an appeal against parts of a ruling by the Berlin Regional Court. The appeal, made on August 5, comes as the board seeks damages for the terminated "Digital Media House" (DMH) project.
The DMH project, which was ended in late 2022, had cost RBB over 12.9 million euros, a sum the board is now seeking to recover, along with interest. The aim, as stated by Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Wolfgang Krueger, is to "prevent financial damage" to contributors and RBB.
The focus of the legal dispute is the personal liability of former RBB director, Patricia Schlesinger, for her decisions regarding bonus payments and ARD allowance in relation to the DMH project. The Supervisory Board is seeking to hold Schlesinger personally liable for these decisions.
However, it's important to note that the Supervisory Board has not sought personal liability for any decisions made by Schlesinger regarding bonus payments or ARD allowance in relation to any projects outside of the DMH. Similarly, the board has not stated any intention to pursue personal liability for Schlesinger outside of the DMH project.
The Regional Court has separated the DMH complex from the main proceedings, indicating that the focus of the legal battle is solely on the DMH project.
The Supervisory Board's decision to seek damages is part of its efforts to prevent financial damage to RBB and its contributors, specifically in relation to the DMH project. The board has not stated any intention to seek damages for any other projects or decisions made by Schlesinger outside of the DMH project.
This legal dispute between RBB's Supervisory Board and Patricia Schlesinger revolves around allegations of financial irregularities, including bonus payments and expenditure related to the DMH project. The questions of personal liability and improper use of ARD broadcasting allowances are at the heart of the matter.
As of June 2024, the latest developments in this ongoing dispute were not reflected in the search results or in my training data. For the most current status updates, it is recommended to consult German legal news sources or official releases from RBB and its supervisory board.
