Does ‘Dead’ Billionaire Really Have Secret New Life in Moscow With His Mistress?
For years, questions have lingered over the baffling disappearance of billionaire Karl-Erivan Haub in the Swiss Alps. The former managing director of the German retail giant Tengelmann, who vanished in April 2018, was officially declared dead three years later.
Now the state prosecutor’s office in Cologne has opened an investigation into whether Haub’s brother, Christian Haub, gave false information in an affidavit in May 2021 when he claimed to know of no information that his missing sibling could still be alive.
The prosecutor’s office says there is currently no reason to begin the process for an annulment of Haub’s death certificate, as there is not yet clear evidence that Haub survived. Christian Haub, who became the head of Tengelmann Group after his brother vanished, denies having given false statements.
