German authorities have closed their investigation into several individuals connected to luxury hospitality group Kempinski, citing no evidence of any wrongdoing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Initiated by the Munich State Prosecutor’s Office earlier this year, the criminal examination was centered on breach-of-trust charges, though the agency declined to provide further details or specify who at Kempinski was under scrutiny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A Munich State Prosecutor’s Office spokeswoman confirmed in an email that the investigation was discontinued in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a press statement, Kempinski called the allegations brought against senior Kempinski representatives “baseless.” The company said that two complaints were immediately dismissed by German authorities, with a third and final complaint dismissed after further examination.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“At Kempinski, we act with a great sense of integrity and business ethics,” the company said in its statement. “This is at the core of our brand DNA and a key pillar of our fundamental strength as a company. The fact that all complaints were found to be entirely baseless demonstrates that they had been filed with the sole intention of defaming our company and its senior representatives.”<\/p>\n
