Police Called To Daimler AGM After Frankfurter Altercation
With the company announcing its highest share dividend ever, Daimler’s annual general meeting in Berlin on Wednesday should have been a celebratory occasion. However, it’s been overshadowed by a big row. About sausages.
12,500 Wiener Würstchen (also known as a Frankfurter) sausages were served at the event between 5500 shareholders, which equates to an average of about two per person. So, when one man decided to return to the buffet to wrap up a few more juicy sausages to take home, a female shareholder took exception. A shouting match ensued, and the row escalated to such an extent that the police were called to calm things down.
According to The Guardian, Daimler board chairman Manfred Bischoff said of the incident: “We had to call the police to settle the matter…We either need more sausages or we get rid of them altogether.”
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
