Overview

• Günther posted on LinkedIn that he will not rest until the individual he believes ordered the 2018 attack faces legal accountability.
• He accused the Wuppertal public prosecutor’s office of reducing the charge from attempted murder to bodily harm, which he says limited investigative tools and shortened the statute of limitations.
• In March 2018 two assailants ambushed Günther near his Haan home and poured concentrated sulfuric acid over him; they received prison terms of 11 and 12 years.
• The former Innogy CFO and current ThyssenKrupp supervisory board member contends both the 2018 and a prior 2012 assault were orchestrated to eliminate him as a professional rival.
• Günther has undergone multiple eye surgeries to treat lasting injuries and hopes a new ARD documentary series will renew pressure on investigators.
