Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - After the scandal about excessive salaries and financial entanglements, the chairman of the Frankfurt Workers' Welfare Association (Awo), Steffen Krollmann, sees the social association on the right track with its work-up.
"The idea of many critics that it is enough to behave in a morally reprehensible manner is unfortunately not a reason for dismissal in our case," he said in an interview with the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" (FAZ).
The Awo had parted ways with at least ten employees, "basically everyone who caused this ship to go awry."
Salaries have been adjusted and one-on-one talks have been held about prepaid credit cards.
Many would have seen this and paid back their money, others waived allowances.
"We have reduced 28 company cars to 9, all these entertainment topics, sometimes driving here, sometimes driving there, none of that exists anymore."
In some cases, insurance law reasons prevented the Awo from asserting claims for damages.
You always have to see what is even possible under labor law.
«I don't think the record is bad.
No third-party provider has moved in here, we are on solid feet, and we have found a reasonable level of discussion with the city. "

The Awo must, however, ask the question, "whether we can repeat the approximately 6.3 million euros with the accused at all".
In the raid by the public prosecutor's office, assets of just under two million euros were only seized.
"Where is the money supposed to come from?"
In the scandal of excessive salaries, luxury company cars and financial ties at Awo, the Frankfurt public prosecutor is investigating former managers on suspicion of fraud and infidelity.
The new Awo board puts the economic damage caused by the former functionaries at at least 6.3 million euros.
