Lufthansa Leaks? Nokia Leaks? Prepare for Further Digging Into EPO Scandals

Older: Leaked: EPO Prioritises Work for Large Foreign Corporations, Discrimination Not Accidental But Centrally Planned (priority/fast lane/bypasses for large corporations)

Summary: Techrights to explore -- as a matter of priority -- corruption that is connected to the EPO and involves governments and corporations

THERE is no lack of stuff about the EPO for us to cover, only lack of time. Recently, in light of events in Croatia and Germany (implicating Željko Topić from the EPO), we revisited some truly serious matters, having broken some news in English and in German.



"We contacted some German publications about this, but they systematically ignore or stonewall (which says quite a lot in its own right). How long can this affair be suppressed?"It's in the media in Croatia today, citing our reports about this EPO scandal. "Croatian media covers TechRights article about Lufthansa / Airplus affair," one reader alerted us. There might be more on the way. "In case you haven't seen this already," our reader said, the matter attracts some attention, but not in Germany. We contacted some German publications about this, but they systematically ignore or stonewall (which says quite a lot in its own right). How long can this affair be suppressed? Or coverage thereof be silenced (self-censorship)? An article was published today titled "The dishonest Germans" and it was summarised by "Scandal has struck Germany’s automobile industry — and there’s a suspicion that Berlin has long turned a blind eye..."

We have actually heard from people inside large European companies -- people who are typically too hesitant to pass documents for fear of identification and retribution (some of the people reading this probably know who they are). We don't want to name these companies, but one thing we can safely reveal is that there will soon be some Lufthansa documents published here. Big scandals. Another Dieselgate? Probably nothing of that scale, but nevertheless, as a matter of priority we prepare more explosive articles about Lufthansa and the EPO. These are coming soon, possibly even before the weekend.

As a side note, we still intend to write about the ILO suppressing justice, but it's less urgent a matter at the moment. We'll get around to covering everything, eventually...
