it is Determined, according to reports against the former ILB-unit Manager, Marion S. and an entrepreneur couple from the Barnim, the company had received in the last few years, 20 million euros in funding. S. was already a key figure in the funding of fraud and scandal of the Resort Schwielowsee in prison deceased hotelier Axel Hilpert.

For the Resort Schwielowsee, but also in the Barnim entrepreneur couple of the as a broker-working husband of the long-term ILB had also concluded-head of unit insurance contracts.
defense line breaks
With the new development, the previous line of defense, the ILB collapses.
