Not a day goes by without new information from Benko’s house of cards: as reported, an alleged net worth of 4.2 billion turned into an over-indebtedness of 4.9 billion within just nine months. Now it became known how luxurious the Signa people were.
Benko’s Signa Holding has been bankrupt since Wednesday and has submitted a restructuring plan to the court. According to the bankruptcy filing, the focus of this umbrella company’s activities is on holding investments and providing services to companies from the financially distressed Signa Group. The document available to the “Krone” also states: Signa Holding “primarily manages the investments it holds and in this context also assumes representation and business initiation tasks”.
