Former Lotus CEO Dany Bahar To File Lawsuit Against DRB-Hicom

Posted on 19 June 2012 by SACarFan

After being dismissed with immediate effect a few weeks ago, former Group Lotus CEO Dany Bahar has reportedly decided to sue the struggling sports car maker.

The Turkish born Swiss was dismissed at the end of an investigation by Lotus’ owner DRB-Hicom into Bahar’s conduct. That was amid rumours Bahar used Lotus funds to extensively refurbish his several houses.

Swiss newspaper Bilanz reports that Bahar is filing a suit in London’s High Court for wrongful termination. The report said Bahar, 40, denies the claims about renovating his homes with Lotus money and he also reportedly denies improperly using company funds for private jets and helicopters.

Officially, Lotus and DRB-Hicom have confirmed only that Bahar was dismissed as a result of the investigation, but details have not been revealed. Neither Group Lotus and Proton or Bahar have made further comment.
