1. The German Defense Minister has said that everything is on the table about the PUMA military vehicle....with all it's maintenance issues....including killing the contract for production (they've barely started production).
That probably put a shock in for the company, and makes the mess even bigger. Will be questionable if you just quit the contract because it's a crappy production model.
2. Former (fired) mayor of Frankfurt....Feldman...(SPD Party)....was convicted today. When you add up the fines....around 37,000 Euro he'll have to pay.
What this all led to on charges? He arranged (as mayor) for his then GF....later wife...to have a city job at the city managed child-care organization. Part of the gimmick....the GF/wife was Turkish and this was a child-care center intended for Turks....so he figured this nationality thing was enough for the job.
On my corruption meter....it's a remarkable low level. It does not appear that he made any money off the job situation....only his GF/wife did.
