Subject: TV station investigated over paying Jan Ullrich interview money
|
From the article: ------------------------------------------------------------------- BERLIN: German TV station ARD is under investigation for using public money to pay 1997 Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich and others for exclusive interviews and guest appearances on its programs. Hamburg district attorney Ruediger Bagger told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung a private citizen filed fraud charges against two top officials of Germany's biggest television station, Jobst Plog and Thomas Gruber. The citizen's complaint was misuse of public money, since ARD is financed through taxpayers. Bagger said his office had enough evidence to look into whether a "punishable" offense was committed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read it at http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/12/15/sports/EU_SPT_CYC_Ullrich_TV_Payments.php J.
