Christof Stapf, the insolvency administrator of Signa Holding, wants to end the holding’s self-administration. In this way, the old management is, to a certain extent, disempowered. And finally René Benko too?
René Benko, whose real estate and trading empire is rocked by a wave of bankruptcies, has not been seen or heard from for weeks. But the former promoted and now relegated team is unlikely to have had any influence on what was happening in his Signa group. So far, at least one of his closest confidants has officially been at the controls of power in the umbrella company Signa Holding; if not your closest confidant: Dr. Marcus Mühlberger, 61, has been at Benko’s side for many years, including in his private business.
