Cocaine at the European Patent Office Now a Subject in YouTube, Media Will Revisit the Topic
"The Cocaine Patent Office" is no joking matter
A couple of weeks ago we showed the handcuffed Berenguer (close friend and colleague of António Campinos at the EPO). We've since then received plenty of additional information (more material with new substance) and apparently some YouTubers already mention this (the portion above speaks of how foolish Berenguer was, revealing his income, which in turn helped confirm his identity).
"A last one," one reader said, is about Berenguer (at around 3:10). "The guy tells us how stupid must be this Spaniard to tell the police he earns €20000/month and lives abroad. He should have said he was unemployed! The fine is determined on the basis of your monthly income."
"More on coke" at the EPO as covered by Focus.de: (we'll be in touch with them and it'll be properly covered later in the series)
"Note that Berenguer admits earning monthly €20000," said an insider, "tax free..."
"Even more" below:
We also got sent this article:
"Please note the following passage," noted a reader. To quote: "Da der Mann keinen festen Wohnsitz in Deutschland hatte, musste er eine hohe Sicherheitsleistung hinterlegen: 40.000 Euro forderten die Polizisten"
"Since the man had no permanent residence in Germany," it says, "he had to post a high security deposit: the police demanded 40,000 euros."
"What does this mean?" mused the reader. "Berenguer doesn't have a permanent residence in Germany? This not very likely unless he tries to cheat the German authorities, or he has a permanent residence in Alicante and he is hired in Munich thus getting a daily travel allowance on top of his salary. That is the problem with all the EPO apparatchiks, they feel they are above God but they aren't. It is a false "perception" probably due to the abuse of drugs."
We'd like to stick to or mostly maintain our original publication schedule, which also involves reaching out to the media (publishers) and politicians at the most suitable times. Right now it is a tad premature as we find more information that we can make available. Nevertheless, if readers have additional points and input, please send that along. We expect this series to last the rest of this month, maybe December as well. There is no particular hurry here; we need to get this right, not fast. If asked the right questions, not by us but by politicians and German media, the EPO's management will squirm and stutter. █
