Controversy
In 2021, the Munich public prosecutor’s office launched investigations in whether Roloff, in his capacity as head of human resources at MAN, legally left his company car to Athanasios Stimoniaris, the former head of the company’s works council.[13] As a consequence, the Bundestag lifted Roloff’s immunity.[14]
