FAZ objection podcast: Do oil companies make big profits in war?

In episode 204 of the FAZ objection podcast we talk about the new developments in the West's dispute with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Now there is a threat of a stop in gas supplies.

We discuss the economic consequences with Professor Dr.

Justus Haucap, economist at the University of Düsseldorf.

We also talk to him about the question of whether the oil companies are benefiting from the fact that prices at gas stations rose so much during the war.

Did everything go right?

The AfD judge Jens Maier is also an issue again.

The Federal Court of Justice has dealt with the question of whether the data from ominous "Encrochat" mobile phones may be used in criminal proceedings.

And the "Dragon Lord" has achieved a success in the appeal process: he doesn't have to go to prison after all.

Finally, we choose the fair verdict of the week.
