Documents reveal questionable behavior by a department head in the Ministry of Transport. Department head Klaus Bonhoff forwarded an email with funding requests from friendly lobbyists to specialist departments.
He did not report the conflict of interest: no problem for the ministry. “The allegations have still not been fully clarified,” criticizes Left-wing Bundestag member Victor Perli. "It is and remains questionable if public funding is not clearly separated between private and professional contacts," says a spokeswoman for the Lobbycontrol association.
