Theo Albrecht | How Aldi's Founder Got Kidnapped
Things I Learned Last Night - Un podcast de Jaron Myers and Tim Stone - Les mardis
In 1971, the unthinkable happened. Theo Albrecht was kidnapped outside his office in Germany. The crime was led by Heinz Joachim Ollenburg, a dishonest lawyer with a gambling problem, and an accomplice named Paul Kron, a former safe-cracker. Their motivation was simple: money. They knew Theo Albrecht and Aldi were worth billions and believed ransom would make them rich. The plan, however, was a disaster. The kidnappers even called Theo’s wife the day before, warning her not to call the police because they planned to take him. Amazingly, she didn’t report it. The next day, they grabbed Theo Albrecht, stuffed him into his own car, and hid him inside a closet at Ollenburg’s law office. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
