North Rhine-Westphalia orders millions of masks from a fashion manufacturer from Mönchengladbach.

Prime Minister Armin Laschet is said to have come to the company through his son - now the SPD is investigating.

  • Armin Laschet's *

    son Joe is a

    fashion blogger

    and has good contacts in the textile industry.

  • Through him, the

    Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia

    also came to the

    van Laack company

    - and now purchases millions of Corona-relevant products from them.

  • The

    SPD parliamentary group is

    now raising serious allegations and would like to have the cooperation investigated.

Düsseldorf - The

fashion manufacturer van Laack

has won a major order from the

Düsseldorf State Chancellery

.

Among other things,

North Rhine-Westphalia is

buying

at

van Laack

millions of masks and surgical gowns.

The

SPD is

now

questioning this cooperation

more closely.

As the

opposition

, she wants to know which other

providers were

in the running.

In addition, she is concerned with the question of whether there have been “

commissions for brokering activities

”.

About the background: According to

van Laack owner Christian von Daniels

, the

son of the Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia

,

Johannes Laschet

, opened the door for the mega-deal with smocks and masks.

Armin Laschet's (CDU)

son "Joe" is a

fashion blogger

and therefore has good contacts in the fashion and textile industry.

He has been working with

von Daniels for

years

.

He told the

Rheinische Post

in an interview: "I told Joe that he can give his father my number if the country

needs

help with the procurement of

masks

."

No sooner said than done - because shortly after,

Daniel's

phone

rang on a Sunday evening

.

The

Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Armin Laschet

, was on the line and said that the

van Laack boss was

running open doors with his offer of help.

"Two days later, his employees were sitting with us in the conference room and had a look at our

masks

and

smocks,

"

von Daniels

continued

to explain

to

the

Rheinische Post

.

The incident now calls the

SPD

on the scene, but it smells "

influencer marketing in the State Chancellery

".

One

would like to clarify what exactly was going on by

means of a “small inquiry in the

state parliament

”.

The

DPA is

now reporting on this

.

Accusation of the SPD: "Influencer Marketing in the State Chancellery"

According to earlier information from the

Ministry

of

Health

, the

fashion manufacturer from Mönchengladbach has

already delivered several million surgical gowns and masks.

The responsible

State Office for Central Police Services (LZPD) ordered a

further

1.25 million everyday masks

for the police from the

van Laack company

.

This is

obviously reason enough

for the

SPD parliamentary group

to raise the question of what influence

Joe Laschet's

business relationships with

the fashion manufacturer

van Laack had

on the

award of contracts by

the state government.

The opposition therefore now wants the state government to list all of the

“van Laack” contracts

.

As the

DPA

reports,

Joe Laschet

has not yet

responded

to your request to comment on the allegations against his person.

Apart from Instagram, where

Joe Laschet has

around

90,000 subscribers

, he was previously only known as the fashion advisor to his

father Armin Laschet

.

Just last week, he said on a

WDR broadcast

that his son sometimes gave him tips on cutting suits, pants and shirts.
