The chairman of the RBB broadcasting council, Ralf Roggenbuck, spoke out in favor of a better control system within the station in the affair surrounding former director Patricia Schlesinger. Roggenbuck explained at a Broadcasting Council meeting in Potsdam on Thursday that the previous “Intendant Constitution” has had its day. Among other things, the first results of a test report by the law firm Lutz Abel were presented.
According to RBB interim director Katrin Vernau, the Broadcasting Council appointed RBB program director Jan Schulte-Kellinghaus as her deputy. Roggenbuck said he was one of two possible candidates because only directors were eligible for the post.
With a view to the affair surrounding the former director, Vernau emphasized that it must be ensured "that something like this can never happen again at RBB". Internal control mechanisms are currently being improved. It is about creating a culture characterized by honesty, trust and proper conduct.
The law firm Lutz Abel investigated, among other things, private dinners, a trip to London, the use of the company car and allegations in connection with a move by the former director Schlesinger. Schlesinger's trip to London in September 2021 was "not for business reasons," said Henning Abraham from the law firm at the Broadcasting Council meeting in Potsdam. A clear violation of the rules for travel expense reports was also found.
Nina Rossi from the same law firm spoke of a "certain system" in connection with the London trip and the billing of dinners. However, she would not describe the violations found as massive at this point in time. Information from the specially set up anonymous whistleblower system that a private move by the former director was billed via the RBB was not confirmed.
The incumbent chairwoman of the board of directors, Dorette König, commented on the report that it confirmed the weaknesses of the work done by the board of directors to date. Decisions should never again be made on the basis of information from a single member: "The chairman cannot place himself above the collegial body, withhold information and make agreements with the director without the board of directors."
She supports the recommendation of a written obligation for the director to report to the board of directors. This must be anchored in the state treaty. Previously there was only a right to information.
Schlesinger resigned from the position of RBB director at the beginning of August after massive allegations of corruption, taking advantage and wasting contribution money and was then dismissed by the supervisory bodies and terminated without notice.
The RBB Board of Directors Chairman Wolf-Dieter Wolf also had to resign. The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating Schlesinger, her husband Gerhard Spörl and ex-Chairman Wolf on suspicion of infidelity and acceptance of benefits.
