Upcoming Series: The EPO as 'Public' Service for Private Profits

'Public' Office or European Private Office?

Sepp Blatterstelli



Summary: Our next multi-part series will touch a very sensitive subject at the EPO, focusing on (but not exclusive to) Jacques Michel

WE previously alluded to the fact that even prior to the recent EPO scandals the EPO was operating a bit like a private office, often at the expense of public money. Now that we are finished with the "Battistelli’s Furious Love Affair With French Power" series we intend to look back at the earlier days of the EPO and show a tradition of gross abuse. It's not about Blatterstelli as Florian Müller calls him (he is already compared to famous criminals on television) but about Jacques Michel, whom we mentioned in passing during the weekend. Stay tuned as what we are going to show is supported by hard-to-find documents (we got them nonetheless) and this is likely to embarrass some very powerful people at the EPO.
