Overview
- An ARD/WDR documentary shows Philipp Amthor calling his work for the start-up Augustus Intelligence a big mistake and saying his moral compass was completely wrong.
- He says he would not take such side jobs again and argues that a politician’s actions must meet a moral test, not only a legal one.
- The affair hinged on a 2018 letter he sent to then economics minister Peter Altmaier and a later director post with stock options at the company.
- The film opens his private life, with partner Carlotta Voß describing a relationship built on constant political debate as they live together in Berlin.
- He also presents himself as a feminist and a media‑savvy CDU figure with strong youth reach, as the portrait traces his path to a 2025 post as Parliamentary State Secretary.
