An investigation into the mysterious disappearance of German-American billionaire Karl-Erivan Haub, who vanished near Switzerland’s Matterhorn peak six years ago, has unveiled startling claims suggesting he may be residing in Moscow with a Russian companion.
In April 2018, Haub, a prominent retail tycoon, disappeared while training for a ski mountaineering race in Zermatt, Switzerland. Despite an extensive search, his body was never found, leading a German court to declare him legally dead in 2021. Haub, the former managing director of the Tengelmann Group, left behind a family and a vast business empire.
Recent revelations by German broadcaster RTL suggest Haub may be living in Moscow with a woman named Veronika Ermilova. Allegations indicate that Haub maintained extensive contact with Ermilova before his disappearance, raising suspicions of a staged death with assistance from Moscow.
RTL journalist Liv von Boetticher revealed evidence, including photographs allegedly showing Haub in Moscow in February 2021, contradicting previous claims of his demise. Boetticher also suggested the possibility of Haub collaborating with Russian interests, citing his significant business ties to the country.
Boetticher speculated that Haub’s disappearance may not have been an accident but rather a carefully orchestrated escape, driven by potential troubles with Russian business partners and his expanding ventures in the country.
The investigation raises questions about Haub’s whereabouts and motivations, suggesting a complex web of international intrigue surrounding his disappearance and potential ties to Russian interests.
