| Raid on home, law office of Olympic official
Raid on home, law office of Olympic official
Prosecutors and police have raided the home and law office of Thomas Bach, a vice president of the International Olympic Committee, as part of a wider fraud and tax evasion investigation centered around the former president of his local fencing club, Emil Beck. Bach, 48, who was the gold medallist for West Germany in fencing at the 1976 Summer Olympics, said he found the raids “impossible to understand“ and said he was confident he would be exonerated. Five other premises were searched, but no charges have been laid following the raids on Tuesday. Chief Prosecutor Hubert Jobski said the investigation of the fencing club in Taubersbischofsheim, a town in northwestern Bavaria that prides itself as “the cradle of German fencing,“ centered around suspicions that cars provided by sponsor Mercedes-Benz for the benefit of athletes had been put by the club to other uses, without any tax being paid. Bach said in a statement that records clearly showed that he was not involved in any of the decisions by the club that are being questioned. mig

| Given that it's now Chrysler-Benz, the US might be good enough.
