Rescue workers in the Swiss Alps have unsuccessfully sought all possible places where CEO Karl-Erivan Haub of the German Tengelmann group could lie. They now hope that the German billionaire will be found by someone by chance. Only when the snow has melted can a targeted search be carried out again, reports the police of the Valais canton.
It is not expected that the missing German billionaire Karl-Erivan Haub is still alive in the Alps. The 58-year-old richly rich businessman disappeared last Saturday after a ski tour in the vicinity of Matterhorn, but his family has since given up the 'hope'. This reports Der Spiegel.
The Swiss village of Zermatt is isolated from the outside world. Due to avalanche danger, the authorities have closed the motorways, train connections, ski slopes and hiking trails in the vicinity of the small town near the Matterhorn mountain.
Two Britons are while climbing the Matterhorn, on the border between Switzerland and Italy, died. Their bodies were found Saturday at 4000 meters altitude, on the Italian side of the mountain.
