The European Commissioner Günther Oettinger was hit by a wave of criticism in November 2016 over an alleged violation of ethics rules. Allegations in the media suggested that Mr Oettinger had taking a flight in a private jet belonging to German businessman Klaus Mangold, seen as a lobbyist close to Russian interests. Mr Oettinger argued that he took the lift because he would otherwise have arrived late for a planned meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister. This was the second wave of misconduct allegations in just over a month for the German commissioner. |
