Scandal at BMW
100 vehicles delivered to Russian customers
Irregularities have occurred at the Munich-based car manufacturer BMW in connection with car exports to Russia. Internal control measures had uncovered this, according to a company statement.
The further sale of vehicles has been stopped. "In addition, the BMW Group has decided to dismiss the employees primarily responsible," the statement continued.
The company thus confirmed a report by "Business Insider". According to the report, more than 100 high-quality vehicles were transported from the BMW site in Hanover to Russian customers.
Strict embargo on car deliveries
As a result of the war of aggression against Ukraine, international trade with Russia is subject to various sanctions, including those imposed by the European Union. There is a strict embargo on the delivery of cars to Russian customers.
According to BMW, companies from various sectors are affected by the fact that their products are available for sale in Russia or are offered in Russia despite their own compliance with the sanctions. This is usually due to so-called gray market imports. The BMW Group is trying to prevent this type of import with the help of various measures.
