Malta’s Industrial Tribunal ruled that former Malta International Airport chief executive officer Markus Klaushofer breached company confidentiality, when he exchanged sensitive data with a prospective buyer for MIA shares.
Klaushofer’s bid to have his 2015 sacking ruled illegal and obtain damages beyond a €400,000 termination offer which he refused, was thrown out by the Industrial Tribunal, which found him in serious breach of his obligations.
