Overview
- - Kuntz’s attorneys, Christian Schertz and Nicolas Nadolny, told the Süddeutsche Zeitung the anonymously sourced claims reported by Stern are false, baseless and do not constitute crimes.
- - The Süddeutsche Zeitung reports it reviewed six pages of chat copies provided via HSV that depict casual exchanges about weather and golf, with the employee later suggesting a bar and Kuntz declining to meet.
- - Earlier Stern reporting, summarized by Focus Online, cited an attorney for multiple HSV employees alleging inappropriate touching, sexual remarks including about a woman’s breasts, innuendo and explicit requests for sexual acts.
- - Internal HSV documents described by Stern were said to contradict Kuntz’s accounts, including a kitchen incident and a Mallorca episode where messages reportedly showed him proposing meetings.
- - Kuntz filed a stalking complaint on December 12 and later withdrew it during his separation from HSV, yet prosecutors continue to review the matter and no legal determination has been made.
