Bavaria: Jagdverband: letter with allegations against the Bureau real

Feldkirchen (dpa / lby) - After anonymous allegations against members of its presidium, the Bavarian Hunting Association (BJV) has confirmed the authenticity of an open letter from former employees. A lawyer for the regional committee of the association assured that four former employees of the office had contacted him as the authors of the letter that the "Deutsche Jagdzeitung" had published.

It is now the task of the presidency to take the content "as an occasion for self-critical examination of the letter," said the association based in Feldkirchen (Munich district). All employees now have the opportunity to also speak to a lawyer "while maintaining anonymity towards the presidency".

The accusations such as insults, disrespectful handling and outbursts of anger are directed against BJV President Ernst Weidenbusch, among others. The association spoke of a planned defamation by means of a character assassination campaign. Weidenbusch, who also sits in the state parliament for the CSU, blamed a group for this. It was always the same people who tried to gain dominance in the association with fabricated accusations.
