Overview
- Investigative reports say Oliver Kahn is advancing an OKSC strategy to buy undervalued European clubs using money promised by a newly introduced entrepreneur.
- The partner, identified in reporting as Gerd Tanner, claimed access to vast third‑party wealth via a Swiss family office linked to discreet families in Switzerland and Doha, though no independent confirmation of the funds has surfaced.
- Credit checks and Munich court records cited in the reports describe Tanner as high risk with repeated payment disruptions, seizures, and recent notes stating creditor satisfaction was deemed impossible.
- Members of the late Heinz Hermann Thiele’s family dispute Tanner’s portrayal of close ties and say they asked him in writing to stop presenting himself as an authorized representative.
- Reports also say Kahn has joined the advisory board of the partner’s Swiss family office, while Tanner’s lawyer declined to discuss transactions and Kahn declined to answer questions about the partnership.
