Kirch demands recourse payments from Breuer to Deutsche Bank

Dieter Hahn, a confidant of Leo Kirch, placed financial advertisements in national daily newspapers such as the FAZ and SZ on Wednesday. These are intended to persuade other Deutsche Bank shareholders to take part in further proceedings against the bank, reports the news agency Reuters. According to the Federal Court of Justice, Deutsche Bank and the former head of Deutsche Bank, Rolf Breuer, are obliged to pay Kirch damages. However, the amount must be negotiated in further proceedings. According to current case law, the bank's Supervisory Board is obliged to take recourse against Breuer, but has waived this right. Kirch therefore wants to get Deutsche Bank to make Breuer pay - including court costs. To do this, however, he needs at least 1% of the share capital or 100,000 euros on his side. The cause of the legal dispute is a television interview from 2002: Kirch accuses Breuer of having doubted his creditworthiness and holds this statement responsible for the collapse of his company.
