in the highly competitive legal dispute between the former director of RBB, Patricia Schlesinger, and the broadcaster itself faces high sums on both sides. In her complaint, Schlesinger demands a monthly pension of around 18,300 euros, which she is entitled to according to the contract. Despite her departure in August 2022, due to the so-called "Schlesinger scandal" about nepotism and waste, she insists on compliance with her contract, such as the Zeitung reported.

In the course of the negotiations at the Berlin Regional Court, both parties have now negotiated comparison. Schlesinger said that she was ready to forego payments for around 300,000 euros in order to settle the dispute. At the same time, the RBB as a counterclaim demands more than two million euros from Schlesinger due to breaches of duty in the context of construction projects. Rumors about a possible comparison until May 31st are in the room, but the RBB lawyers emphasize that the board of directors must be included in the decision-making process, such as the EPD

high claims and judgments

The judge brought up in the trial that the RBB is probably obliged to pay Schlesinger their contractually assured retirement allowance. At the same time, the broadcaster denies the obligation to pay and even argues that the entire contract is immoral. Schlesinger, who moved into a gross monthly salary of 25,000 euros for over nine months, is under the pressure of enormous process costs and previously lacking income. Your cash register is empty, which also underlines the seriousness of the negotiation process.

This dramatic Situation raises questions: How could such generous contracts come about? The dimensions of this dispute are not only a dispute over financial demands, but also also have a skill light on the scandals on public service broadcasting, which are increasingly being discussed in the critical public.
