    German billionaire who was officially declared dead in 2021, three years after vanishing in the Swiss Alps, may have faked his own death to live with his alleged mistress in Moscow.

    Karl-Erivan Haub, a German-U.S. dual citizen, was 58 at the time of his disappearance, and was former managing director German retail giant Tengelmann Group. He was last seen on the morning April 7, 2018, heading up a mountain lift, and was reported missing the following morning after he didn’t return to his hotel in the Swiss resort of Zermatt.

  4. Exactly how moscovia’s mil intel groups capture vital resources.

  7. Imagine making up an elaborate hoax just to get INTO Russia.

  9. Surley you can smuggle a single person into the EU and europe if you’re a billionaire and it was before the Ukraine war?!?!

  11. She’s good looking but that good looking. He must have shitty kids if he’s leaving them forever.

  12. If he is so rich why did he have to fake his death? Why not just move to Russia normally?

  13. … Did he do that to avoid being put on some kind of sanctions list?

    *Why didn’t he just invite her over whatever it was he was from?*

  14. If this isn’t blowing the lid on an FSB honeypot I don’t know what is.

    I’m pretty sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. German business has been getting fat on trading with Russia for decades and Scholz, the man of German the business community, is always reluctant when it comes to Russia.

    Since the German BND has been pretty anaemic for a long time, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if we see more of this surface as it seems the intelligence community is starting to reactivate itself after a long sleep.

    First we had the intercepted WebEx calls on Taurus, and they’ve recently arrested 2 people in Bavaria on spying charges in the last few days. I predict more of this to come. Germany has a Russia problem, and it looks like it’s time to clean house.

  17. And now Putin is going to jail him and take all his billions for the war effort. Watch…

  20. Such a misleading headline. A news agency is suing his brother over claiming that he hadn’t had any information on if his brother is still alive. Evidence came to light that he MIGHT still be alive. But it’s all kinda fishy, one supposed picture was ripped from the Russian facial recognition software and allegedly proves that he is in Russia. All alleged. All in trial.

  22. He presumably fled to Russia because he mightve taken part in the Russian money laundering scandal in the 2010s
