German probe: $113M aid embezzled in Yemen
The German newspaper "Der Tagesspiegel" revealed an internal corruption network within the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), related to systematic embezzlement of aid funds allocated to Yemen. It is estimated that the financial waste could reach approximately 100 million euros. Investigations uncovered violations including funding fake seminars and training courses, falsifying vehicle maintenance expenses, manipulating exchange rates, and conducting financial transfers to smuggle money abroad. There were also delays in informing relevant authorities and destruction of parts of corruption files before the legal conditions could be established. The revelation has led to a push for urgent measures and interrogations by German political parties, along with accusations of corruption and a decline in trust in the management of foreign aid.
