A startling revelation has emerged regarding the whereabouts of German-US billionaire Karl-Erivan Haub, who was declared legally dead in 2021 after vanishing during a skiing trip in Zermatt, Switzerland, in 2018. According to a major investigation led by German broadcaster RTL, Haub is suspected to be alive and residing in Moscow with his much younger mistress, Veronika Ermilova.
The disappearance of Karl-Erivan Haub, then 58 years old and training for a ski mountaineering race, triggered a massive search effort involving helicopters and alpine rescuers. Despite the extensive search, his body was never recovered, leading to the assumption of his death and the transfer of control of his retail giant Tengelmann Group to his brother, Christian Haub.
However, the recent investigation by RTL has cast doubt on Haub’s demise. The report alleges that Haub made numerous calls to Veronika Ermilova in the days leading up to his disappearance, sparking suspicion that he may have faked his death. Additionally, rumors suggest that Haub possessed a Russian passport alongside his US and German citizenships.
Veronika Ermilova, described as running an “inconspicuous” event agency in St. Petersburg, is believed to have connections to Russia’s FSB security service. The investigation highlights several instances where Haub and Ermilova were reportedly in the same locations at the same time, fueling speculation about their relationship and potential motivations for Haub’s disappearance.
RTL journalist Liv von Boetticher speculated that Haub’s disappearance and subsequent presence in Russia could be linked to shady business dealings. The exact means by which Haub orchestrated his alleged escape remain unclear.
The revelations surrounding Karl-Erivan Haub’s supposed survival and life in Moscow with Veronika Ermilova have reignited interest in a case that had been considered closed following his legal declaration of death. The investigation continues to unravel the mystery surrounding Haub’s disappearance and subsequent activities, raising questions about his past and potential motivations for evading authorities.
